The setting: Eugene in the 1960s
The story: Bowerman’s Jogging Class

Bill Bowerman is largely credited to bringing jogging to the everyday citizen, starting right here in Eugene and Springfield. By bringing Hayward magic into the community, Bowerman established the connections that make TrackTown USA what it is today.

"This is TrackTown" is a monthly series that will explore the moments, stories, and people who make our community the center of the track & field universe.

Special thanks to this month's interviewees: Wade Bell, Bob Coll, Bruce Mortenson, and Lonn Robertson
