EUGENE, Ore. -- More than 400 feet pounded the pavement for the first-ever Run Eugene Run event on Thursday night. The 5K run/walk raised money for programs that make life a little easier for foster kids and foster families, like Junior League's "A Caring Place." That's a kind of daycare for foster children.
