Eugene OR -

The second annual Eugene Women's Half Marathon will take place September 4th, 2011. The event tag-line is "Let yourself be pampered before, during and after your 13.1". Finishers will again be greeted with King Estate wine tasting, Ghirardelli chocolates, a ZEN Spot yoga studio and a Gervais Spa experience to unwind after their half marathon.

"The response from the inaugural event was huge," says event director and two time Olympian Nicole Teter, "Everyone loved the course, Ghirardelli chocolates, King Estate wine, Gervais spa and everything else at the finish line. We are really excited to grow the event and improve even further on every finishers' experience."

The fast course will again start in downtown Eugene, do a loop around the city and end at the fabulous 5th Street Market. The race will be capped at 3500 runners and walkers and will be a fund raising platform for the American Cancer Society and the Ovarian Cancer Alliance.

2010 Eugene Women's Half sponsors included: Krusteaz, 5th Street Market, Gervais, Aveda, Lululemon, Luna Bar, Enterprise Eugene Contact Center, Ghirardelli, KDUK, Pepsi, Gatorade, Earth2O, ZEN Spot, Northwest Distillery, Gorilla Capital, Therapeutic Associates, and Holiday Inn Express.
