2. TRAVEL TO EUGENE
2.1 Official Airports and Arrival Information
There are two official airports to which you can arrive in Oregon.
Eugene Airport (EUG) is located in Eugene, OR 19 kilometres from the University of Oregon
campus. The Eugene Airport only accepts domestic arrivals, so traveling into Eugene will
require a transfer connection in another US city.
Portland International Airport (PDX) is located in Portland, OR. It has daily direct flights from
Europe and Asia. It is an approximately 2 hr. drive and 200 kilometres to Eugene.
Transportation from either airport to the University of Oregon will be provided by the LOC. Teams
arriving prior to 18 July must make arrangements with the LOC directly by emailing
teams@oregon14.com.
At each airport arriving delegations will be greeted by the airport Services Team, who will escort
them to the airport Welcome Centre where those at the information and transportation desks
will help facilitate the movement of teams to their appropriate accommodations.
In case of lost luggage, the LOC will make every effort to help locate it. The Team Leader is
nevertheless expected to declare the missing luggage at the Lost and Found office. The Team
Leader may be also requested to return to the airport to identify the luggage if it was not located
immediately. Consequently, transportation of the lost luggage to the accommodation venue will
be arranged by the airlines and the LOC.
To accommodate departures on 28 July, the local Organizing Committee will provide ground
transportation to both airports.
2.2 Transport of Oversized Baggage
Teams are responsible for the transportation of their equipment to the final destination airport.
Equipment can travel with the team via airline, but please note that planes arriving into Eugene
Airport (EUG) may not be able to accommodate oversized baggage (pole bags and javelins in
particular).
In order to ensure that equipment arrives in due time, please confirm with the airlines on each
segment of your travel that oversized baggage will be accepted, transported and properly
transferred. The LOC will transport equipment from PDX to Eugene if notified by the Member
Federation via email and prior to the arrival date that such transport is requested.
If you are interested in shipping equipment directly to Eugene you may ship to the following
address, Items should arrive no earlier than 14 July and the LOC must be notified with tracking
information so that they will be prepared to receive your shipment. Please include the name of
your Federation and Team Leader on the first line of the address, as in the example below:
Oregon 2014 Local Organizing Committee – Federation Name, Team Leader Name
c/o Lile Storage
3330 Roosevelt Blvd
Eugene, OR. 97401
USA
IAAF World Junior Championships Eugene 2014 – Team Manual 11For questions or information on third-party services that specialize in the shipping of pole vault
poles contact the LOC at teams@oregon14.com.
Special arrangements will be made for the vaulting poles, which will be collected by the LOC
directly at the airport. A tag with the athlete’s details will be placed on the pole for easier
identification. On the way back they will go directly from the Stadium to the airport where they
will be collected by the athlete or team official before flight check-in. Please see the LOC Airport
desk for questions on collection.
2.3 Entry Visas
Please refer to the list of IAAF Member Federations and respective visa category in Appendix.
If your country is listed under Category 1 and is eligible for the Visa Waiver Program, please visit
the following website and complete the Electronic System for Travel Authorization: www.esta.us
If your country is listed under Category 2 or Category 3, you need to obtain a visa to enter the
United States. In order to obtain a visa, all applicants must go through the following process.
Please begin this process as soon as possible.
1. Please email visas@oregon14.com with the names of all athletes and staff who will be
traveling with your federation to Oregon. The LOC will need the following information for
each individual:
a. Full Name
b. Date of Birth
c. Passport Country and Passport Number
2. After the LOC receives this information they will respond promptly with letters of invitations
including names for all individuals.
3. Once you receive the letters including each individual from your delegation, you will have to
fill out an online visa application and to schedule an appointment at the U.S. Embassy or
Consulate closest to you. Please note that all team/delegation members will need to file
individual applications, and that while all may be processed as a delegation, each member will
need to appear for an interview at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate.

IAAF World Junior Championships Eugene 2014 – Team Manual 122.4 Medical Insurance We remind you that all IAAF Member Federations are responsible for subscribing to an insurance policy that covers illness and/or injury to any members of their delegation and/or team travelling to and from IAAF competitions and during the event itself.

For more information please see IAAF Circular Letter M/06/14. 2.5 Global Ambassador Team Attachés The Local Organising Committee is very keen on providing the best assistance to all athletes and officials travelling to Eugene through a very comprehensive and innovative Attachés programme called “Global Ambassador Team Attaché́”.

5.4 Document Distribution
As always, every effort will be made to reduce the amount of printed material distributed to the
Teams through their pigeon holes at the TIC at the Stadium or at the CID at Global Scholars Hall.
In practice this means that the distribution of competition related information at the TIC and CID
will NOT be systematically made through printouts in the Team pigeonholes but will be displayed
on the notice boards. It will still be possible to request occasional copies of specific event start
lists and / or results (at the TIC).
Important notices of general interest (e.g. changes to the timetable) will also be displayed on the
Posting Board while individual communications to specific teams will be posted through the
pigeon holes.
A Final Results Book will be produced and distributed to all Teams and guests prior to departure.

Technical Regulations), i.e. 7 July 2014, but there will be an extended qualification period of one
week.
This means that Member Federations must submit the athletes’ names, including reserves, and

July 2014 but would be allowed to make any changes to the composition of their team up to one
week later, 14 July 2014. Please note that this is NOT an obligation but an option which some

A maximum of two athletes from any one Member can compete in each event with the
exception of the Relays. Three athletes can initially be entered per event, provided each has
achieved the Entry Standard but only two will be permitted to compete.

Championships event, may enter one unqualified male athlete OR one unqualified female
athlete in one event of the Championships (except the Field Events [see below], Combined

for the competition, whether for the relay or for any other event, may then be used in the
composition of the team for the first round.
