Oregon Tech Twilight Fun Run

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

The Oregon Tech Twilight Fun Run is hosted by Oregon Tech Wellbeing in collaboration with the Student Veterans Program, and as part of community Memorial Day events, honors all fallen veterans.

🛤️ Route

• Start Point: The Fun Run will begin at Eulalona (formerly known as Kit Carson) Park.
• Trail: The route proceeds up the trail that runs parallel to Crater Lake Parkway, to El Dorado, up Daggett, and then right on Bryant Williams Way around campus.
• Options: Participants can choose to either complete 1) one full loop around campus (5k, 3.16 miles) or 2) head directly into Moehl Stadium (a half run, 1.5 miles).
• Timing: Professional timing services will be provided by Athletic Timing, who track participants with chipped custom bibs.

🏁 Finish

• Finish Line: Participants can choose to run through colored chalk at the entrance to the stadium, or opt for a chalk-free finish experience.
• Food Options: Food trucks will be located between the stadium and the Athletics Building.
• Awards: A closing awards ceremony will take place once the top finishers are recorded, with awards for overall finishers and by age group.
