Running Groups

Motivation, Fun, Friendships and Safety!

The Eugene Running Company wants to inspire and invigorate your passion for running. What better way to do so than to run with other runners? Runners of all levels — beginners to veterans — are invited to join our free weekly group runs from the store. Bring a friend or make new ones!

We record your mileage that add up to special mileage awards starting with the 100 mile club shirt.

( While running is fun and healthy, there are inherent risks to health and safety. We ask that you consult with your physician prior to starting to run.
We ask that any child who would like to participate is accompanied by a responsible adult who can ensure the safety for the child.
Additionally while we accompany the group and try to keep account of it's members, we still require each member sign a waiver of liability for Eugene Running Company or any of it's members. Minors must have a legal guardian sign on his or her behalf.)

The Monday Night Group
Eugene Running Company Monday 6:00 pm

The Monday Night Group is our most popular group run. We typically host groups of all paces running three, five, or seven miles. The group meets at the store and runs to Alton Baker Park/Pre's Trail during the summer months and Willamette River Bike Path/Valley River during the winter months. We accommodate all paces to ensure that no one has to run alone.

Join us at Track Town Pizza (on Franklin) after the first Monday Night Run of each month.
