Whether you are tracing the roots of Track Town USA, here for an epic annual event, or traveling for a tournament we've got all your sports resources covered. The Willamette Valley, home of Hayward Field, the hallowed ground for track and field athletes, the famous Ducks and Beavs, and some of the world's finest mountain biking trails in the world, is also a hearty host of more than 500 sporting events each year.

The Willamette Valley offers so many ways to enjoy sports, from cycling to marathons to golf. Soak in some of our greatest events during your trip. After your big event stay, play and explore the bounty of Oregon’s food, wine and beer scenes.

With two top Universities less than an hour apart on Interstate-5 that offer a multitude of events and consistently contend in March Madness, the University of Oregon Ducks and Oregon State University Beavers basketball games are major sporting events.
