Join our team and run, jog, or walk at the Eugene Marathon to benefit Community Supported Shelters!
Not a runner but still want to help? You can sponsor a runner!
Join Our Team
Support your unhoused neighbors and participate in the Eugene Marathon! Instead of paying a registration fee, you commit to fundraising the amount listed below, and will be given a code to register for the race on the CSS team once the goal has been met. Through Eugene Marathon’s Run for a Reason program, the funds you raise will be donated to CSS.
Step 1
Decide if you would like to participate in the 5K, Half, or Full Marathon. Complete the form below to let us know you've decided to join the team.
Step 2
Raise money for CSS by having your friends and family donate, in your name,
here! If you'd like to get the word out on social media, we recommend setting up a campaign with
Give Lively or
Facebook Fundraiser.
Full Marathon– $160
Half Marathon – $135
5K – $75
Step 3
Once you pay the fee or fully fundraise for your fee, you'll be emailed a code to register for the race for FREE. And you'll get a free CSS t-shirt to wear on the day of the race!
(Allow up to two days for us to get back to you with the code.)
Sponsor a Runner
Not a runner but interested in supporting our cause? You can partially or fully sponsor a friend, family member, CSS client, or CSS staff member to run on our team! No amount is too small, and all donations are tax-deductible. If you'd like to sponsor a specific runner, make sure to include their name with the donation:
About CSS
Established in 2013, Community Supported Shelters (CSS) is a nonprofit located in Eugene, Oregon, that transforms lives by providing shelter, safety, and support for unhoused individuals. If you're a local, you've probably seen our (frankly amazing) Conestoga Hut shelters around town!
This is our first year participating in the Eugene Marathon!! We'll have a booth at the Health & Wellness Expo (a.k.a. 5th Street Alley Marketplace) during the race weekend. Feel free to stop by, step inside a Conestoga Hut, and learn more about what we do:
Friday, April 25: 1 pm-6 pm
