About Eugene

Eugene, Oregon is a vibrant and passionately outdoor-oriented city situated in the southern Willamette Valley at the confluence of the Willamette and McKenzie Rivers, approximately 180 kilometres south of Portland and 100 kilometres east of the Pacific Coast, and is the second-largest city in Oregon and the home of the University of Oregon — a major public research university whose presence gives the city a youthful energy, a progressive civic culture, and an intellectual vitality that have made Eugene one of the most celebrated and distinctive university cities in the American West, a place of deep environmental commitment, extraordinary running culture, vibrant arts, and a laid-back Pacific Northwest character that is genuinely and warmly its own.

Eugene's most enduring and globally recognized contribution to American culture is its extraordinary legacy in track and field athletics — a legacy so deep and so transformative that the city has earned the proud and entirely justified nickname TrackTown USA. The University of Oregon's Hayward Field, completely rebuilt in 2020 into one of the most spectacular and technologically advanced track and field venues in the world, has hosted more NCAA Track and Field Championships than any other facility in the country and served as the stage for some of the most iconic moments in American running history, most notably the career of Steve Prefontaine — the charismatic and blazingly talented University of Oregon distance runner whose fierce competitive spirit, tragic early death in 1975, and enduring cultural legacy have made him the most beloved figure in American running history and whose memory is honoured at Prefontaine Memorial and the outstanding Oregon Track Club tradition he helped inspire. Eugene hosted the World Athletics Championships in 2022 — the first time the global championship of track and field was held on American soil — cementing its status as the premier track and field city in the United States.

Eugene is also the birthplace of Nike — Phil Knight and coach Bill Bowerman developed their revolutionary waffle-soled running shoes at the University of Oregon in the early 1970s, launching a company that would become the most valuable sports brand in the world and whose origins in Eugene's running culture are a source of enormous local pride and a reminder of the city's outsized influence on American athletic life. The broader running culture that Bowerman and Prefontaine built at Oregon remains alive and vibrant in Eugene's extensive trail and path network, its passionate running community, and its culture of outdoor physical life that permeates every neighbourhood and every season.

The University of Oregon campus is one of the most beautiful in the Pacific Northwest — a landscape of red-brick buildings, towering Douglas firs, and beautifully maintained grounds that houses the outstanding Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, one of the finest university art museums on the West Coast, and generates a cultural programming calendar of theatre, music, lectures, and public events that enriches the entire city. Eugene's Saturday Market, operating continuously since 1970 and one of the oldest outdoor arts and crafts markets in the United States, is a beloved community institution that embodies the city's commitment to local artisans, organic food, and community gathering.

Top attractions also include the stunning Hendricks Park Rhododendron Garden, the Science Factory children's museum and planetarium, the vibrant Fifth Street Public Market, the outstanding Hult Center for the Performing Arts, and exceptional access to the extraordinary natural landscapes of the Oregon Cascades — including the Three Sisters Wilderness, Crater Lake National Park, and the McKenzie River National Recreation Trail — that place Eugene at the gateway to some of the most spectacular wilderness in the American West. The city's food scene, anchored by outstanding farm-to-table restaurants drawing on the extraordinary agricultural bounty of the Willamette Valley, has emerged as one of the most celebrated in Oregon outside of Portland.

With its legendary track and field heritage, Nike origin story, beautiful university campus, outstanding arts and market culture, deep environmental commitment, exceptional Cascade wilderness access, and a warm and progressive Pacific Northwest community spirit that makes it one of the most livable and distinctive university cities in the American West, Eugene is an Oregon city of genuine passion, creativity, and enduring athletic soul.

Its airport code is EUG (Eugene Airport).
