The whole course, built from the best available published route trace and an extruded model of Eugene. Scrub it, change the camera, or let it play. Nothing here is a video: it is drawing the city live.

Route statusOrganizer-linked course file. Google My Maps embedded on eugenemarathon.com/marathon, doc titled '2027 Eugene Marathon & Half Marathon'. Verified by download: 'Marathon Route' LineString has 1,021 points, haversine length 42.46 km (26.38 mi), start 44.0414,-123.0697 (Agate St) and finish 44.0419,-123.0713 (Hayward Field track). Also contains Half Marathon Route and mile markers 1-26.

The route line uses the best published course trace available. Public-domain USGS and USDA aerial photography plus USGS 3DEP elevation are baked into RunRace USA, so the flyover makes no paid map API or third-party runtime requests. Buildings, roads, parks and water use OpenStreetMap, ODbL. This is photographic terrain with modeled architecture, not photogrammetry. Bridge approaches, elevations and facade details are approximations; the organizer's published route remains the reference.

Course geometry provenance is stated beside the player; elevation profiles always use the same route loaded there. City geometry is OpenStreetMap, ODbL. Aerial imagery is from USGS and USDA; other images carry their own source credits. Weather figures use Open-Meteo reanalysis for April 21-29 across 2016-2025 at the start line. Schedule, prices and expo hours were checked in 2026-08-31 and are the fields most likely to move: confirm them on www.eugenemarathon.com before you book anything. Spot an error?
