The Heat the Streets Run & Walk for Warmth is an annual event organized by Metropolitan Utilities District and Omaha Public Power District. It includes a timed run and an untimed walk, as well as a virtual option. Proceeds benefit local utility assistance programs, aiding communities with utility bills. The event draws attention to utility needs during cold months, with funds managed by Dollar Energy Fund, Inc. and supporting families across multiple counties. Participants can run, walk, or donate directly to support those in need of utility assistance. Awards are given, and the event welcomes strollers, pets, and service dogs.
