Eugene Marathon Runner Vanishes Mysteriously

The Vanishing Runner: A Eugene Marathon Mystery

Eugene, Oregon – April 28, 2024

The Eugene Marathon is known for its scenic routes, enthusiastic crowds, and the spirit of legendary runners like Steve Prefontaine. But in 2024, the event became the backdrop for a chilling disappearance that left the running community and local investigators baffled.

The Last Stride

At 7:15 AM, under overcast skies, 32-year-old ultramarathoner Derek Voss crossed the starting line with a confident wave to his girlfriend, Leah Carter, who waited near Hayward Field. A seasoned athlete, Derek had run Eugene twice before and was aiming for a personal best.

Witnesses reported seeing him strong at Mile 10, high-fiving spectators. But by Mile 18, near the Amazon Trail—a wooded stretch with sparse crowds—something changed.

The Disappearance

Leah expected Derek at the finish line by 11:00 AM. When he didn’t appear, she assumed he’d slowed down. But as runners dwindled and race officials packed up, panic set in. His tracking chip showed his last ping at Mile 18.3, near a secluded footpath.

Police launched a search, scouring the trail with K-9 units and drones. No sign of Derek—not even his neon-green running shoes or hydration vest.

The Clues

A Disturbed Patch of Earth: Near the trail, investigators found loose dirt and drag marks leading into thick brush.

A Mysterious Spectator: Several runners recalled a man in a dark hoodie watching the race near Mile 18, not cheering—just staring.

The Abandoned Phone: Days later, a cyclist found Derek’s smashed phone in a drainage ditch two miles off-course.

The Theories

Foul Play: Was Derek targeted? His sister revealed he’d received strange messages in the weeks before the race—'You don’t belong on that course.'

The Copycat: Some compared the case to the 1998 disappearance of a runner in Oregon’s Forest Park—never solved.

Voluntary Vanishing: Derek had no known enemies, but his bank records showed no activity post-race.

The Lingering Questions

Why did his tracker stop abruptly?

Who was the hooded spectator?

Did Derek stumble upon something—or someone—in the woods?

A year later, the case remains open. Runners at the 2025 Eugene Marathon reported an eerie feeling near Mile 18, as if unseen eyes watched from the trees.
