Event Overview
Run for a Reason with Two Daughters Foundation is a fundraising team opportunity connected to the 2026 Eugene Marathon weekend. Participants run as part of the Two Daughters Foundation charity team to raise money for its mission, which provides free peer grief support to young adults across the country, particularly those navigating the serious illness or loss of a parent.
Event Details
The event takes place over two days at the Eugene Marathon. The team offers participation in the following distances:
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon
- 5K Run
Fundraising Participation
The event operates on a fundraising model. To secure a spot on the team, participants must fundraise a minimum amount. The fundraising minimums are:
- Marathon: $350
- Half Marathon: $250
- 5K Run: $150
Once the fundraising goal is met, the registration fee for the chosen race is waived. Participants receive a registration link from the foundation at that point. The deadline to meet the fundraising minimum is March 15, 2026. If the minimum is not met by the deadline, the participant is accountable for covering the remaining amount.
Team members receive an official Two Daughters Foundation T-shirt and access to a fundraising platform with tools and staff support.
