Oregon Track Club Community Run Series 2026

The Oregon Track Club Community Run Series is a monthly run/walk at Alton Baker Park in Eugene, Oregon. The club holds the events mostly on the second Thursday of each month. Courses are marked and results timed, though the setup remains informal. Most stops offer a 5K and the "Spirit of Bowerman Mile." One early-season event adds 8K and 4K options. The series is in its 16th year. Oregon Track Club members enter for free with a checkout code. This is structured more like a community fitness night than a high-pressure race. Walkers and runners of all ages and abilities are welcome. Kids 14 and under receive a small discount when paid registration applies. The consistent Alton Baker Park location simplifies the series: participants can return month after month, aim for a time on a measured course, try the mile, volunteer, or use it as an affordable way to stay connected with the local running scene.
