Run for a Reason 2026 with Two Daughters Foundation
The Run for a Reason event takes place in Eugene, Oregon, as part of the 2026 Eugene Marathon weekend. Participants have the opportunity to represent the Two Daughters Foundation team while navigating courses that showcase the scenery of South Eugene and the University of Oregon. The event is centered around 1675 Agate Street in an area known as Track Town USA.
The event offers three distinct distances for participants:
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon
- 5K Run
Participants run to support a mission of providing free peer grief support to young adults navigating the loss or serious illness of a parent or parental figure. Registration involves a fundraising model where participants who meet specific financial goals receive a registration link to enter the race at no additional cost. The fundraising minimums vary by distance, with the Marathon set at $350, the Half Marathon at $250, and the 5K Run at $150. All fundraising requirements must be met by March 15, 2026.
Team members receive an official foundation T-shirt and access to digital fundraising tools and support. The 5K event is scheduled for Saturday, while the Marathon and Half Marathon take place on Sunday. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
