Eugene Marathon 5K | Kids Duck Dash

The Eugene Marathon weekend features a full weekend of fun and family-friendly festivities the Eugene 5K and the Kid’s Duck Dash.

There’s something for every runner of every ability. Kids ages 4-12 have a chance to finish at historical Hayward Field like countless other Olympians and world record holders at the Kids Duck Dash – a quick 1K (approx) around the heart of UO campus. For a bigger challenge kids can participate in a marathon – one mile at a time. They can choose to run or walk 25.5 miles over a period of time before the actual race, logging their progress. Then, on race day, kids complete the final distance to make it a full marathon.

The Eugene 5K isn’t your standard 5K. This fast and flat race takes runners on an incredible tour of the same exact paths where some of the most legendary runners in history used to run. Up for an extra challenge? Both Krusteaz Flapjack and Flapjill run the Eugene 5K every year, and if you beat the speedy breakfast food in your category, you’ll go home with a year’s supply of Krusteaz Pancake Mix.
