But at the age of 24, with his best years still ahead, long-distance runner Steve Prefontaine finally lost. Driving alone at night after a party, Prefontaine crashed his sports car, putting a tragic, shocking end to the life and career of one of the most influential, accomplished runners of our time. From his humble origins in Coos Bay, Oregon, Pre became the first person to win four NCAA titles in one event. Year after year, he was virtually unbeatable. Instead of becoming one of the new breed of professional track athletes, Pre chose to stay amateur and fight for the adequate funding he felt American amateur athletes deserved. But Pre not only touched runners; his exciting racing technique as well as his maverick lifestyle made him a favorite of the fans. A race with Prefontaine in it was automatically an event. This is his story.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Rodale Pr","offers":[{"title":"Pre: The Story of America's Greatest Running Legend, Steve Prefontaine | Tom Jordan | Paperback | 9780875964577 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1757736","offer_id":49178361397400,"sku":"1757736","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91UE0sWM1cL.jpg?v=1780070809","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/pre-the-story-of-americas-greatest-running-legend-steve-prefontaine","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
