50 years ago today, the first annual Prefontaine Classic was held.
Originally set to debut as the Bowerman Classic, the meet was renamed just days after Pre’s passing — becoming a living tribute to the athlete who inspired it all.

Winning a 5000m 13:23.8. Just missing his American record but thrilling the Hayward faithful, nonetheless.

His final race. His final win. But never his final impact.
On this day in 1975, Steve Prefontaine won his last race at Hayward Field.

It was Steve 'Pre' Fontaine's birthday today. He would have been 74 yrs old. He is buried in Sunset Cemetery in Coos Bay, OR. We often drive up to Pre's Rock here in Eugene to look at the tribute wall at his memorial where he tragically died in a car accident. Godspeed, Pre #PreLives #StopPre
