More about Run Hub Gear Grants

Run Hub has issued more than 130 $200 Gear Grants to local student athletes since the program’s inception in fall 2022.

Run Hub Gear Grants can be used by middle and high school students to purchase running shoes and other gear from Run Hub. Students must be enrolled in a track or cross country program at a Eugene/Springfield school or a sanctioned youth running program within Eugene/Springfield.
