Run for a Reason

at the Eugene Marathon

April 24-26, 2026

Join our team and run, jog, or walk at the 2026 Eugene Marathon to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Emerald Valley!

As a Run for a Reason participant, you’ll receive exclusive race-day perks, including free race entry, VIP amenities, and a complimentary event t-shirt thanks to Krusteaz — all while making a meaningful impact for local kids and families.

Instead of paying a registration fee upfront, you commit to fundraising the amount listed below. Once your fundraising goal is met, you’ll receive a code to register for the race for FREE.

The Full Marathon and Half Marathon have sold out of public registration spots. Good news: We still have spots available on our team! Joining a Run for a Reason team is currently the only way to secure an entry into the Full or Half Marathon.

Race Fundraising Minimums

Full Marathon – $350

Half Marathon – $250

5K – $150
