The Eugene Marathon is the Pacific Northwest’s largest marathon and takes place each spring on the last Sunday of April. The marathon and half marathon courses traverse through the communities of Eugene and Springfield, alongside the Willamette River, and on the same roads that the world’s best runners have competed on for over 50 years — most recently at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 in July of 2022. Start outside the newly renovated Hayward Field, finish on the iconic track, experience the magic of Hayward Field and Run in the Footsteps of Legends. The event also includes the Eugene 5K and Kid's Duck Dash presented by OCCU on Saturday, April 27 starting at 8:00 AM.
