TrackTown Spectating | Eugene Marathon & PRE Pilgrimage 🎽

This weekend, I joined my family at the Eugene Marathon and had an epic, history-filled time that got my blood pumping! ✅ Cheered on runners at the legendary Hayward Field 🏟️—this track-and-field mecca has witnessed the birth of countless world records!✅ Snapped a photo of a super meaningful eco-friendly medal 🥇—the wood on the medal is repurposed from the old east stands of Hayward Field (used from 1925 to 2018). It honors the stadium’s legacy while upholding eco-conscious values.✅ Visited the memorial site of running legend Prefontaine (PRE) 🌟—he didn’t just revolutionize long-distance running in the US; he was also one of Nike’s first sponsored athletes! ✅ Stopped by the University of Oregon campus on the way 🎓—the second you step foot here, you’re surrounded by that iconic “TrackTown USA” energy. ✅ Checked out Eugene Running Company 👟—the store is lined with race memorabilia and signed running shoes. P.S. Shoutout to DR (Dark Runners) 🖤💚! In Eugene, running isn’t just a sport—it’s a culture. This place is a sacred pilgrimage spot for countless runners and the birthplace of Nike’s spirit. Even if you’re not a runner, TrackTown USA will fire up your passion! 🔥 #USATravel #RunnersUnite #EveryRunIsAMarathon #DarkRunners #EugeneMarathon #TrackTownUSA #RunnerPilgrimage #RunTheWorld #Prefontaine
