Description

For five years, no American runner could beat him at any distance over a mile. At 24, with his best years ahead, Steve Prefontaine died in a car crash after leaving a party, ending the life and career of one of the most influential runners of all time. From Coos Bay, Oregon, Pre became renowned for his racing prowess and his decision to stay amateur, fighting for better funding for American athletes. He was known for his exciting, fearless racing style and his maverick personality, making him a fan favorite. A race with Prefontaine was always a spectacle. This is his story.
