Eugene: TrackTown USA and the Willamette Valley's Academic Anchor
Eugene sits at the southern end of the Willamette Valley in Lane County, with a population of roughly 176,654. The University of Oregon, founded in 1876, shapes the city's economic base and public identity. Hayward Field on the university campus has hosted the U.S. Olympic Trials in track and field multiple times and was rebuilt from 2018 to 2020 to a 12,650-seat capacity that expands for major meets. Eugene has been known as TrackTown USA since the 1970s.
Phil Knight, co-founder of Nike, graduated from the University of Oregon in 1959 and ran for coach Bill Bowerman, whose work on lightweight running shoes with Knight eventually produced the company that would dominate athletic footwear. Nike itself is headquartered in Beaverton, but its origins trace to the Eugene running culture that Bowerman helped build. The university's business school bears Knight's name, and Matthew Knight Arena opened in 2011.
The Willamette and McKenzie rivers meet north of the city, and the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path System runs more than 12 miles along their banks. Skinner Butte, the forested hill at the northern edge of downtown, offers views of the city and marks the approximate location where Eugene Skinner established the original townsite in 1846.
