Eugene Running Events Calendar 2027 (Beyond Hayward Field)
Hayward Field gets the headlines—but Eugene’s road and trail calendar keeps travelers booking whole homes year-round. This pillar lists **confirmed** races on the Moxie [events](https://www.moxievacationrentals.com/events) calendar (ex-Hayward track meets) and links each to a stay angle.
We’ll update TBD rows as organizers publish dates. No invented start days.

- **Women’s Fun Run / Pre’s Trail OTC series** — OTC Community Run Series dates appear on regional calendars; we will add individual STR-relevant editions when we confirm primary organizer pages.
- **Autumn Trails Eugene** (Nov 8, 2026) — skipped for CMS (too soon for content push).
## Where to stay
Race weekends are built for whole homes: early breakfasts, gear drying, and room for non-runners. Browse [Eugene vacation rentals](https://www.moxievacationrentals.com/properties) and **book direct** with Moxie.
Campus and Fairmount homes suit Marathon Weekend and Hayward-adjacent schedules. Downtown and river-path homes suit winter road races and Butte to Butte’s Market finish.
