Oregon Track Club has hosted an annual Run/Walk series since 2011. They are kept interesting and fun by varying the locations in the Eugene/Springfield area, the distance (1 mile, 4K, 5K, 8K to 10K) and the surface (paved, gravel or bark trails, hybrid). The Run/Walks are at 6pm or 6:30pm on the second Thursday of the month from March through October.
The Run/Walks are a great way to meet other runners, test your fitness, go for a personal record or just enjoy a relaxing pace among great scenery. All paces and ages are always welcome and celebrated; as are leashed pets and strollers. Even though the vibe is informal and fun, the Run/Walks are professionally timed and announced by Eclectic Edge Racing using computer chip technology. Random prizes and refreshments are provided by the sponsors which include Bigfoot Beverages, Eclectic Edge Racing, Run Hub Northwest and Track Town Pizza.
Run/Walks are free for OTC members and only $15 for the general public or non-OTC members ages 15 and older and $10 for youth ages 14 and younger who are not an OTC member. There is easy online registration until 3pm the day of each event and also on-site registration available. Oregon Track Club is looking forward to cheering you on at a future Run/Walk.
Thank you to our long-time sponsors: Bigfoot Beverages, Eclectic Edge Racing, Run Hub Northwest, and Track Town Pizza. Thanks also to the many volunteers who make the Run/Walk Series possible.
