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

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:
