Bring your energy and get ready to cheer for thousands of runners and walkers from all across the country as they speed their way along the 26.2 and 13.1 mile courses. Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in itself is incredible, but when filled with thousands of cheering fans the energy is off the charts.

BEST VIEWING SPOTS

There are many incredible locations throughout Eugene to cheer on runners, many locations where you’ll see runners twice.

There might not be a better viewing spot than Hayward Field, where you can see runners start, see them run back through at mile 9, and see them turn onto the track and finish the Eugene Marathon.

Hayward Field will be open to spectators on Sunday starting at 7:00 a.m. No ticket necessary to enter.
