The 2018 Pioneer Dam Run, hosted by Eclectic Edge Racing, will be on Sunday, June 17 in Brownsville (about 30 miles NE of Eugene). It’s a great way to start Father’s Day, with your choice of a 10K or 5K – both fast and flat! Both races start at 8 AM at the Linn County Historical Museum and are quick out and backs along Kirk Ave and Northern Drive and up the scenic Calapooia River Valley. Click here for a course map.
Awards will be presented to the top three overall male and female winners in both 10K & 5K races and the top two finishers in each age bracket. The top male and female 10K runners will receive a $50 gift certificate to Eugene Running Company, and the top male and female 5K runners will receive a $25 gift certificate.
There will be prizes for “Best Dressed as a Pioneer”, as well as a post-race raffle. Also stick around for breakfast in the park after the event!
