36th Annual Aquafina Butte To Butte
Join us for a holiday tradition that's the biggest and the best running and walking event of the year in Eugene. There's something for everyone, from elite runners to casual walkers, from families to businesses, and from youngsters to seniors!
Both events start at Spencer Butte Middle School and finish at Skinner Butte Park in Eugene, Oregon. The 10K course begins at 43rd & Donald St with the traditional charge up the Donald Street hill to the 1 mile mark, followed by a downhill run on Fox Hollow to the 2.2 mile mark, while the final 4 miles are flat to the finish. The 4.5 Mile Mayor's Fitness Walk starts on 43rd heading east to Fox Hollow and then joins the 10K course - the walk is entirely flat, bypassing the Donald Street hill.
Awards will be presented to the top three overall male and female finishers and the top three in each age group and the top three teams in each division and category. All participants will be eligible for random prize drawings. Special awards will also be presented to the top Youth (under 20), Masters (40 & over), Seniors (60 & over), and King and Queen of the Downhill (at the 1 mile mark) and Uphill (at the 2.2 mile mark). The top three male and female finishers will also receive prize money.

Three-phase challenge runners will start the 1K in 15 second intervals in the order they finished the 7K. The start time for the 7K is exact, while the start times for the 1K and 3K will vary based upon the number of participants.
Awards will be presented to the top three overall male and female finishers and the top three in each age group in the three-phase challenge. Participants competing in only one or two of the three phases will compete for awards in each group - participants competing in two phases will only be eligible for one award but will be listed in both phase results. The top three teams in each category and division will receive awards.

28th Annual Turkey Stuffer
This is great way to prepare for that Thanksgiving Day meal. If the Run or Walk doesn't work up an appetite, then exercise a little more after the "Stuffer" with a free swim at Willamalane Parks & Recreation Splash Wave Pool. Course loops through Thurston residential neighborhood. This will be a DAG chip timed race, but times will be based on gun time. The disposable chip will be on the back of the race bib in a plastic pouch. You will be asked to return the chip only, not the race bib, after completing the event. More details will be posted soon.
