A large police force will staff the annual Eugene race, and existing policies will be tightly enforced With the finish line in sight, Eugene Marathon officials say they’ve made a final push toward ensuring participant and spectator safety at this weekend’s event. Race organizers announced that they’ve decided to ramp up security in light of the deadly bombings at last week’s Boston Marathon. A number of local police agencies and the Oregon National Guard will be part of the effort. “It’s something we have to do in the aftermath (of the Boston incident), which really got us thinking about security,” race director Richard Maher said. Eugene police Lt. Sam Kamkar said last week that “a large contingent” of officers will work the event. Beyond that, police and marathon officials have declined to discuss details regarding the upgraded safety plan. Part of the strategy calls for tight enforcement of a number of existing policies. In past years, marathon organizers had not been strict about some of the rules, Maher said. Those policies include conducting random bag checks for participants; limiting prerace shuttles to participants wearing event bibs; promptly towing vehicles parked in “no parking” areas; searching and removing unattended bags; quickly ushering runners through the finish chute into a nearby area; and prohibiting re-entry into a participant-only area near the finish line. In a prepared statement, marathon officials asked spectators and participants to serve as the event’s “eyes and ears” and to call 911 to report suspicious activity. More than 8,500 runners are expected to participate in the seventh annual Eugene Marathon races. Scores of spectators will gather inside Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus to cheer on the athletes as they make their way around the historic track and cross the finish line there. A 5K race and a separate “Kids Duck Dash” are planned for Saturday, while both the half-marathon and full marathon begin at 7 a.m. Sunday.

Eugene Oregon is where the Olympic Trials were held this last Olympics, and was just chosen as the site for the next Olympic Trails. My hometown is known as Track Town, U.S.A. I belong to the Eugene Running Club and I an entered to run.
Who's paying for all this increased "security"?
Boston Bombing was a Staged Event. What is it supposed to Precipitate. www.youtube.com/watch?fea...er_embedded&v=DaeSkSZbHRQ UM Coach used a Different Name. Was Part of the Drill.

The money is coming from the city and the state. They are bringing in police officers from other Oregon cities to flesh out the ranks of police, and Oregon State police will be there. There is an Earth First! street march the same day too they are usually interested in when those events happen. The Eugene marathon is a big event, many elites who ran in Boston will be here too.
Mike I know you are a liar and you are going to lie about this. But do you and your "twin sister" always post the same article to forums 4 min apart?
Why? Do you want to talk to her? She is still here. One thing about family who have desktops and laptops, not to mention cell phones, the ability to do concurrent posting is not rocket science.
The truth is not in you Mike. You had a chance to come clean. I don't even really care except for the fact that it proves you are a liar and not to be believed in anything you say.
You two have so much in common maybe you should get married.
I am told now she does not want to speak to you anymore with the current level of harassment she feels she got posting at your place briefly. I guess I shouldn't of copied what she was doing and posted to your place seeing how utterly paranoid you are. If you want me to stop contributing to your forum, just say so Stone. I am not going to refrain from doing so if she has posted something simularly elsewhere on the Internet just because you like to be a baby and call people liars and harrass them.
Are you asking her for a date? I doubt you two have much in common.
You sure lie a lot Mike. www2.libertysflame.com/cg...asmine&SNSearch=+Go+&PNU= But you are a witch that is what they do. Before the lake of fire. By all means continue posting you are a barrel of laughs.
You ain't no Sherlock Holmes bub. I am amused how you like to chase your tail for no good purpose and could give a rats ass what you have to say to me about your paranoia. I also don't care what you think about me. She really hates you, I feel sorry for you; there is a difference in our opinions about you.
You said the same thing when you were in your dress posting as Annica. Mike you're not honest.
Don't put on the dress and you will always like me Mike.
You sure think awful highly of yourself. I like the contact with some posters on your site I don't run into any other place. You, I wouldn't cross the street to meet.
She really hates you, I feel sorry for you; there is a difference in our opinions about you.
I can exist in the same room with her, you would get your testicles handed to you, tht is the difference in her feelings about her brother and Stone from Ohio.
