Eugene Marathon

The Eugene Marathon, established in 2007, is a fast, USATF-certified race that finishes on the track at Hayward Field—one of the most historic venues in distance running. The course follows flat, well-marked streets and riverside paths used by legends like Prefontaine and Salazar, making it a destination for serious runners aiming for Boston or Olympic Trials qualifying times. Choose from the marathon, half marathon, 5K, or Kids Duck Dash. With streamlined logistics, frequent aid stations, free shuttles, and entertainment zones, the event is built for both performance and efficiency. Post-race, athletes can expect a focused finish experience, live music, and access to food, drinks, and a pancake breakfast!
