Mystery run in Eugene...aren't that many options for a fast course in town.

How about that new 400m oval at Hayward ?

Who says it is IN Eugene? 🤓

I believe the race will be run just outside of Eugene, but still in Lane County.

I believe the race will be run just outside of Eugene, but still in Lane County.

And somewhere pretty darned flat, if they expect good times. The winds in the area are forecast to be very low this evening with temps in the mid-50s, so that's good.

They are off! 45 now...and cloudy...

Amazing Meyer still held the record...I remember that race.

46:13, set in 1983 by Greg Meyer at Washington, D.C.

according to USATF story they ran 60:23 and 61:16

Results showed tenths after 60:22 and 61:15, so I went to the next higher full second.
Shoot me if I am wrong.

no shooting required
