“The goals of this legacy project are to create a commemorative and permanent reminder of the World Athletics Championships coming to Oregon,” said Kari Westlund, the President and CEO of Travel Lane County. “We want to connect Oregonians and visitors to our state to these incredible athletes not just during the event, but for years to come.”
“It is our hope that through this project we can educate and inspire the public about Oregon’s deep connections to track and field through its many global medalists from communities of all sizes,” added Sarah Massey, CEO of Oregon22. “We want this trail to serve as a reminder to all Oregonians, and especially youth, to dream big.”
