Join Pink Buffalo Racing for the annual Eugene Holiday Half & Hustle on December 20th at the Lane County Fairgrounds.
Packet pickup is available before the event to avoid long lines on race day. Head over to Claim 52 Brewing (1030 Tyinn St. Eugene, OR 97402) on Friday, Dec. 19th from 5pm-7pm. Otherwise, packet pickup is available on race day morning in Expo Space 2 at the Lane County Fairgrounds from 8:30am-9:45am.
Lace up those fast running shoes because cash prizes are available for the overall top three female and male champions in the half marathon and the first masters male and female (40 and above) in the half marathon. Teams declared before race day that are also competing in the same distance are eligible for prizes as well. Fastest team, most spirited team, and largest team will be the categories for teams to compete in. What is your team name? I’m regretting not signing up on a team now…
The course this year will be an out and back along Fern Ridge Path, which is completely paved.

Awards will be given to the top 3 male and female finishers in each age group and all half marathon finishers will be awarded a finisher’s medal. The design is a secret, but if you check out the facebook event page, you can see the medal for last year was very beautiful with it’s pressed glass design.
