The Eugene Marathon and Half Marathon are the perfect running destination for a first-time racer or seasoned veteran. No matter what race you choose, you’ll break the finish line tape in front of cheering fans like iconic athletes and coaches such as Steve Prefontaine, Bill Bowerman and Ashton Eaton.

With a new course that features Downtown Eugene but captures most of the historic Eugene Marathon route, runners will still capture the gorgeous views of the Willamette River, run through South Eugene’s beautiful neighborhood and enter through the East Tunnel of Autzen Stadium and #FinishOnTheFifty. A “you can not miss this” type of race, both runners and walkers are encouraged to come and experience the magic of Track Town USA in this destination running event.

There’s something for every runner of every ability.  Our Kids Duck Dash, open to kids ages 4-12, is the perfect opportunity to participate in the magic of the Eugene Marathon during the 1k run around Autzen Stadium. For those 12 and older, check out our beautiful and scenic Eugene 5K, which highlights some of Eugene’s wonders. Both the Duck Dash and Eugene 5K finish in the same location- the perfect family event!
