It was in the 20s when we started so we definitely earned our “Run to Stay Warm” medals during this race. But the good news was that it wasn’t too icy so the run was nice and there were still lots of fall colors to enjoy!
Fast and beautiful late Fall Half

This is a well-organized and popular race among locals, but it’s welcoming for all levels, and is probably the second largest local Half marathon other than Eugene in the Spring. Having run this race several times (between the half and 10k), most years it ends up being great race weather, which is a plus for November in Oregon! The entire race is on the river path along the Willamette in Eugene-Springfield, and if this weren’t my normal running route, I’d probably feel it were even more scenic and appealing, but it really is quite pretty and great for a fast time or PR. This is still a smaller race, pretty non-existent spectators, but there is adequate fuel on the course and it’s big enough that you won’t really be running alone, if for long. The long-sleeved race shirts are always one of my favorites, and it’s definitely a fun event overall. Also, convenient that it’s always the Sunday before Thanksgiving!
