Running trails abound in city
Although Eugene’s ability to
attract big-name meets like
the current NCAA track and
field championships have con
tributed to the city’s label as
the “Running Capital of the
World,” there are other at
tributes which have con
tributed to that honor.
Chief among them are the
running trails that crisscross
the interior of Eugene.
The "grandaddy” of Eugene
running trails is Pre’s Trail,
which has achieved national
recognition. The trail is named
after former Oregon distance
star Steve Prefontaine, who
died in a car crash in Eugene
in 1975.
The 6.4 kilometer cedar-chip
trial loops alongside the
Willamette River between
Alton Baker Park and the 1-5
bridge. There are four different
trails which make up Pre’s
Trail, and they range in length
from six-tenths of a kilometer
to 2.6 kilometers. The four
routes offer enough variety
that you could run 10 miles on
Pre’s Trail and still see new
things in the last mile. A small
billboard-sized map of the trail
is located just south of Autzen
Stadium next to a small
footbridge.
Pre’s Trail was renovated
last summer with $100,000 in
donations. Volunteers install
ed a new drainage system and
poured new cedar chips over
the length of the trail.
The trail also feature a “par
course,” a system of exercise
stations along a running path.
The idea originated in Europe,
and Pre’s Trail features six dif
ferent stations, each offering
the runner a different excer
cise that will stretch and
strengthen a different muscle
group.
The Adidas Oregon Trail,
formerly known as the Amazon
Parkway Run, was also recent
ly renovated. Adidas installed
a new drainage system and
then added a wood-chip cover

THE TYPE OF FOOT
YOU HAVE
INFLUENCES YOUR
CHANCE
OF INJURY.
If you are engaged in a running activity, you
will want to know the type of foot you have so that
you can choose the right shoe. This choice will
often influence whether you stay healthy or are in
jured. For instance, a very flexible foot is
unstable, causing the foot to roll in (pronate),
which will increase the stress through the foot,
lower leg, and knee. This type of foot needs to be
controlled by wearing firm shoes. To this, an or
thotic device placed in the shoe is sometimes
needed to increase the control of foot motion. On
the other hand, a rigid foot needs more shock
absorbancy, as this foot, being firm, will not ab
sorb the impact of foot-strike very well.
Therefore, get to know your foot type — it will
help you choose the right type of shoe for your
foot, thereby decreasing your chances of injury.
