Health & Wellness Expo
At Graduate Eugene
The Eugene Marathon Health & Wellness Expo is where runners pick up their packets before race day, but it’s also a great place for the public to explore vendors, sponsors and activities on Marathon weekend. The Expo can once again be found at Graduate Eugene, one of Downtown Eugene’s premier hotels, from 10–6pm on Friday and 10am—6pm on Saturday.
Whether you’re visiting the Expo, staying at Graduate, or stopping into Poindexter or Trophy Room, the memorabilia on display makes Graduate is a must-visit stop on any Nike or track enthusiast’s trip to Eugene. This year’s Expo is spilling out into the 5th St Market Alley—don’t miss it!
