A RACE FOR THE REST OF US

RACE OVERVIEW

*THE RACE PREFERRED T-SHIRT DEADLINE IS JULY 12TH - WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE YOUR PREFERRED SIZE IF YOU REGISTER AFTER THIS DAY*

Senior & Disability Services, a division of Lane Council of Governments, is hosting their 6th annual A Race for the Rest of Us! This is a "race for a good cause" - to raise money for the Senior Meals Program at Senior & Disability Services, which provides food to Lane County seniors who might otherwise go hungry. The distance is a whopping 0.5k - nope, that is not a typo! That is a half kilometer or about one third of a mile, or about 546 yards, or about 1640 feet, or about twice as far as the average good golfer can hit a golf ball off of a tee - you get the idea.

Unable to join the race in person? No problem! You can participate in the 0.5k from wherever you are in the world!

Every participant gets a T-shirt, a finishers medal, and a race sticker to show off your race completion and your support for Senior Meals! Have you seen those oval stickers on the back of someones car with the numbers on them? Yep, like that, only much cooler!

* DISTANCE: in person 0.5k & virtual 0.5k
* RACE DAY: Sunday, August 2nd, 2026, 12pm
* SWAG: T-Shirt, Sticker, Medal!
* LOCATION: Campbell Park, 155 High St, Eugene, OR 97401, and also virtually.
* TERRAIN: Flat concrete (walking/bike path)

Come walk/run/roll with us or do it on your own time. Whatever works best for you. A portion of each registration will be donated to the Senior & Disability Services Senior Meals Program in Lane County.
