By Gary Svoboda Staff Sports Writer Lincoln CPA Larry Lausten says with tongue partly in -'''cheek the idea was born in February as he was driving back from western Nebraska.

"It was during the middle of the night and very dark, and I said to myself, there's got to be a better way to get a view," So, after months of organizing, Larry and 11 other runners "'-will be gathered on a dark and desolated stretch of Highway 30 located between Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, and Busimell, Ne-' braska, at midnight Thursday to begin a 462-mile relay run to the Missouri River. The event is a benefit for the Juvenile Dia-'betes Foundation. In actuality, the seed for this initial Trans-Nebraska Relay was planted last year in a 24-hour relay held by the Lincoln '-Track Club to benefit the diabetes foundation, Lausten explains. His company, Peat Marwick Mitchell, took part in it The closest' thing to formal attire came when one runner showed up with a tuxedo T-shirt Scott says the fact that both marriage partners are runners should help. one runs and the other one doesn't, they (the non-runner) tend to feel neglected," she says.

As for the wedding party, "It was the first wedding I've ever been to where Tve been relaxed and comfortable," Lightner notes. Marriage and running seems to be making inroads in the Capital City. Earlier in the year Jim Lewis, dedicated jogger and Lincoln Track Club official, and distaff runner Doris Hit? tied the nuptial knots, as did Pam Mattson and Dave Thurber.

Race Against Cancer Ooser to home is the Aug. 15th fifth annual Race Against Dedicated runners that they are, Sue Scott and Rich Boston apparently didn't want a little thing like marriage to interfere with their daily run. They managed to combine love for each other with their love of running last weekend by sandwiching three-mile jaunts around their marriage ceremony at Pioneers Park. The couple and a dedicated band of runners started out at Wilderness Park, reports Lynn and jogged over to Pioneers where Jeffre Cheuv-ront a judge who just happens to be a dedicated runner himself performed the ceremony with the wedding party attired running clothes.

"The next problem was getting 12 people," who will run four-mile legs during the run, Lausten says.

Of the dozen who 1 signed up, eight are present or past employees of the account-J ing firm he works for. In addition to himself, others who will make the run are Claude Berreckman Jr, Mark HilL Mark Nelson, Gary Hawley, Dale Nielsen, Tom Grafton, Rich La-I-benz, Lynn Lightner, Guy Plugge, Bob Moline and Scott Millik-J cn. Milliken is from Hastings, the rest are from Lincoln. The group will live out of a large motor home during the relay, which is scheduled to end at 2 p.m. Sunday at Hayworth Park, and the runners will be paced (8 minutes per mile) by jone of two cars.

While he hasnt set a goal on money to be raised, Leeper "there's a three-fold approach" to raising funds through She run. The first is by the runners going out and getting friends and acquaintances to pledge money for each mile run. second was a mailing campaign for pledges, and the third involves local fun runs in various communities along tho 3route, held as the relay runners pass through. Towns scheduled to hold fun-runs include North Platte (at 11:30 p.m. Friday), Lexington (7:30 a.m.
