TrackTown USA is a non-governmental, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization
based in Eugene, Oregon, United States.
The long history of the sport of track running in Eugene,
particularly at University of Oregon's Hayward Field,
earned the city its nickname as the "Track Capital of the World"
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.

Besides organizing track and field competitions, TrackTown USA also provides community track & field awareness and youth fitness development activities.

During track season, it holds a monthly town hall-style meeting at the Downtown Athletic Club called "TrackTown Tuesday."
