Half Marathon races near Eugene-Springfield

TrackTown Miles And Valley Rides

Eugene-Springfield hosts 4 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals treat Eugene-Springfield like a daily training camp, with Pre's Trail in Alton Baker Park, the Ruth Bascom river path, Amazon running trail, Rexius Trail, and Ridgeline Trail all in regular rotation. Amazon trail feels comfy because it is usually cushioned with mulch, and the river path shows you Eugene fast. The bridges force you to commit to a distance, especially on the Autzen to Valley River Center 10k loop. Big Timber Running Club, Run Hub Northwest, Eugene Running Company, Silenus Run Club, Drew Brew Crew, and Oregon Track Club keep the week honest. Eugene Marathon and Emerald City Trail Series anchor the calendar.

Locals ride a deep mix of river loops, foothill roads, gravel, and singletrack. One popular route runs 7 km with 207 m of gain from Eugene Amtrak Station to Fern Ridge Reservoir, McKenzie View Drive, Springfield, Clearwater park, Mill Race Path, and Alton Baker Park. McKenzie 3 River Loop follows the Willamette, McKenzie, and Mohawk rivers, and it gives riders 43 km with 203 m of gain. GEARs, Bicycle Way of Life Cycling Team, Disciples of Dirt, and GOATS keep the scene moving. Spencer Butte, Mt. Pisgah, Mt Baldy, Hendricks Hill, South Hills Sampler, and Coburg Hills bring the climbing legs.

Spring and fall give locals the best rhythm for base miles, intervals, Z2, crit legs, cyclocross practice, and trail time. Summer has some themed races like the Christmas 5K/10K/Half Marathon in July and Super Mom 5K/10K/Half Marathon at Kiwanis Park, which come with custom medals and race shirts. The city keeps runners out on the trails in all weather, and riders still find good winter spots when local dirt gets slick. Whypass works well outside Creswell and Lorane, and Maxxis shorties make Eugene trails fun in winter.
