Run for a Reason Presented by Ronald McDonald House Charities is the Eugene Marathon’s charity initiative to raise $350,000 for local and national charities. The program provides participating charities the ability to utilize the event as a catalyst for fundraising, while also providing individuals the ability to not only run the Marathon, Half Marathon or Eugene 5K, but to do it for a reason!
