Here are a few low-cost races to check out this weekend:
- This Saturday, November 10 brings the Pioneer Road Run in Phoenix, offering a 9-miler and a 5k for $20 each. SOR members can sign up for only $15.
- Also this Saturday is the Veterans Celebration Run. There is a 10k and a 5k, both offered at $25. This Eugene run starts at 11:11 to give a nod to the November 11th Veteran’s Day Holiday.
EWEB’s Run to Stay Warm has a price increase on November 15 (the race is on November 18 in Eugene). This is a great race, with a fast course, and proceeds go to support area residents that need help paying for winter heating costs. Sign up by the 15th for the half for $60, the 10k for $40, or the 5k for $30.
Foot Traffic’s Holiday Half, 10k, and 5k have price increases on November 16. Until then it’s $82/$58/$44. The race is on December 9, 2018 in Portland.
The Eugene Holiday Half Marathon & Hustle 10k/5k on December 15 have some really good prices. Until the day before the race, the 10k and 5k are only $20, and the half is $50, but keep in mind that if you wanted to order a shirt (for $16), you can only do so through November 30.
The current pricing for the 2018 Civil War Relay ends on November 11. Until then, it’s $350/team when paying online or $340 when sending a check.
