Go For a Run in Downtown Eugene

And catch all the sites in TrackTown USA!

Take a running tour of TrackTown and see its best sights, all within a sub-five-mile loop of your Downtown Eugene stay. While the included Strava route starts and ends in Kesey Square, feel free to begin just outside your hotel and head toward the route.

Route highlights include:

• Nike Wellness Collective
• Run Hub Northwest
• The Willamette River
• Pre’s Trail
• Autzen Stadium
• Hayward Field
  

After breezing past Nike’s Downtown Eugene flagship (the Well Collective), be sure to wave at Run Hub Northwest as you head through the Eugene Riverfront development down to the Ruth Bascom River Path. A short jog (with a requisite sprinkling from the City Hall fountain) down the path will lead you up to the Defazio Bridge and across the beautiful Willamette River. Through Alton Baker Park, you’ll start a leg down historic Pre’s Trail, where Steve Prefontaine practiced during his time as a GOAT at the U of O. You’ll get excellent views of Autzen Stadium before heading back south and across the river via the Frohnmayer Bridge, known to students as the Autzen Footbridge, onto the University of Oregon campus. Continue to the heart of TrackTown with a stop at Hayward Field. Feel free to take a full lap around Hayward’s exterior before continuing through campus back toward Downtown Eugene to end where you started.
