One of Oregon’s longest standing relay races, the Oregon Rivalry Relay brings out Ducks and Beavers fans to duke it out along a one-day, 52 mile rural course. The direction of the route will depend on which school has the home game.
As Oregon hosts the host game for the Oregon Rivalry game, this year’s Oregon Rivalry Relay will start at the Linn Benton Community College Track in Albany.
The course is divided into twenty-five legs and is rural in nature except for when arriving in Eugene. After starting, teams will run on the shoulders of the roads crossing through the scenic Oregon countryside and small, quaint towns, to the finish line at Alton Baker Park in Eugene.
Distance: 52 miles Elevation: Gain +263 Average Temp: 46°F Legs: 1-3 miles each
