2027 Eugene Marathon Ambassador Program

Help us celebrate and share the story of the 20th Running of the Eugene Marathon! In the lead up to our 20th Anniversary race on April 25, 2027, we are looking for two kinds of race ambassadors. Please read the descriptions below and if you qualify for either role, we encourage you to apply. The link to the application can be found at the bottom of this page.

  1. Legacy Ambassadors — Have you participated in the Eugene Marathon 5+ times or did you run the inaugural race in 2007 and do you want to do it again in 2027? We want to share your story! No social media commitment required.

  2. Run Club / Social Media Ambassadors — Are you a run club leader or an active member of the running community? Do you have an engaging social media account that is focused on running content? We are looking for runners from across the globe who are planning to run Eugene in 2027 and want to share their experiences on social media. 1K+ followers on a public Instagram or TikTok account required.
