Lane County

Lane County is a study in contrasts. From the bohemian lifestyle of the modern-day hippies downtown Eugene, to the grass hay, mint, and fruit farmers of Junction City, to the award-winning wineries of the Lorraine Valley, you’ll discover what makes Oregon tick. Influenced by the youth and vibrance of the University of Oregon, this region is a nucleus of new thinking, artistic expression, and literary arts—and track. No single community loves running more than the people of Lane County. Famed son, Steve Prefonaine’s image is immortalized on buildings, and his haunt, Hayward Field, is now a world-class running facility hosting runners from all across the planet. Lane County has a recipe for success: there’s something special for everyone.
