I am already registered for this race as it is my last pacific-rim state in which to complete a Half. Hopefully, my back will cooperate, and I will be able to run it instead of doing so much walking. Either way, I will be there.

This is so fun! I ran the Eugene Marathon last year and loved it — in part because the temperatures were absolutely perfect. I also did my MA at Eugene and have a really fond place for it in my heart. I'm running the Missoula Marathon this year instead, but would recommend flying directly into Eugene if possible (instead of Portland, unless you have other traveling to do) and staying close to the start line. The Graduate Hotel is slightly farther away but very fun in terms of classic UO/Nike gear....and any of the hotels north of "East Campus" will put you within a five minute walk of the starting line. The finish on the track is glorious!
