2012 Course Description

The Eugene Half Marathon starts alongside full marathon participants in front of historic Hayward Field - home of four Olympic trials (soon to be five in 2012), ten NCAA championships and countless national and world record breaking efforts.  Starting on Agate St. the half marathon follows the marathon course through mile 11 at which point participants break off on their own after crossing the Knickerbocker Footbridge. "Halfers" head west and run parallel to Pre's Trail, along the Canal path, back to Old Day Island Road and get a quick glimpse of Autzen Stadium on their right before turning left for their final mile. They cross the Autzen Footbridge as they shoot down Agate St. toward the finish line.

In total, the 13.1 mile course takes runners and walkers through the University of Oregon, Amazon Park, Alton Baker Park East and across the beautiful Willamette River (twice!) on the way to a spectacular finish through the arches of Powell Plaza and the final stretch on the track at historic Hayward Field.
