Popsicle 5K/10K/Half Marathon : Eugene
The Popsicle event on August 16 in Eugene, Oregon gathers runners at Kiwanis Park for road and trail miles along a paved trail. The event offers three in-person distances and a virtual option that allows participants to run or walk their chosen distance remotely and submit results online.
Distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
Finishers at the in-person event receive an ice-cold popsicle and a custom Popsicle-themed finisher medal. Awards are presented in each distance to the top three male and female finishers within standard five-year age groups, beginning with 10 & Under.
The course follows a paved trail. Self-serve water stations are available approximately every 1.5 miles; participants who prefer not to stop are advised to carry personal hydration. Half marathon entrants must maintain at least a 16 minute per mile pace to finish.
Registration has tiered pricing with deadlines: regular registration ends 08/08, late registration ends 08/15, and race day registration is available. Participants who register by 08/06 (except those registered without a shirt) are guaranteed race swag in their size; after that, shirts are available while supplies last. Virtual race registration and instructions allow remote participation and award eligibility. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
