The third annual Eugene Women's Half Marathon will take place August 26th, 2012. The event has gotten praise as one of the best women's events in the northwest.

"The weather, course, support and finish are some of the nicest I've seen," says event director and two time Olympian Nicole Teter, "What more could you want besides Ghirardelli chocolates, King Estate wine, a Gervais spa and free massage?"
