Run in the footsteps of legends in the Pacific Northwest’s largest marathon, traversing through the communities of Eugene and Springfield, alongside the Willamette River, and on the same roads that the world’s best athletes have competed on for over 50 years. You’ll finish the race on the iconic, world-renowned track and experience the magic of Hayward Field as you celebrate making a life-changing difference through your fundraising and Ronald McDonald House awareness efforts. This will be the most inspirational and impactful race you've ever been a part of!
