TrackTown USA is a non-governmental, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization[1] based in Eugene, Oregon, United States.[2] [3] The long history of the sport of track running in Eugene,[4] particularly at University of Oregon's Hayward Field,[5] earned the city its nickname as the "Track Capital of the World"[6] and as "TrackTown USA." So the term "TrackTown USA" may refer to the nonprofit organization, Hayward Field, the Eugene-Springfield region, or the entire state of Oregon.[7] [8]
Besides organizing track and field competitions, TrackTown USA also provides community track & field awareness and youth fitness development activities.[9] [10] During track season, it holds a monthly town hall-style meeting at the Downtown Athletic Club called "TrackTown Tuesday."[11] [12]
