The 10,000-meter road run is slated for 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17, in downtown Coos Bay. The run is held in conjunction with the Bay Area Fun Festival, Coos Bay’s largest annual community celebration. The qualities that made Steve Prefontaine a hero to track fans more than four decades ago are still creating new admirers. Many who were not born when “Pre” was setting records, or ever saw him compete, are inspired by his enduring example of courage, determination and charisma. Now in its 37th year, the popular run got its start when a group of Coos Bay citizens decided it was time that Steve Prefontaine’s hometown did something to honor its favorite son. For the past 26 years, there has been a high school cross-country team com- petition as part of the Pre Run. The high school team competition will start at 9:45 a.m. A large contin- gent of high school teams participated in the run last year with teams from Arcata, Brookings-Harbor, Cascade Christian, Coquille, Grants Pass, Henley, Hidden Valley, Marshfield, Newport, North Bend, Oakland, Roseburg, St. Mary’s, Siuslaw, Springfield, Sutherlin, Toledo and Yoncalla. Awards will be given in five-year age groups. First- through third-place finishers in each division will receive awards. Additionally, a trophy will be pre- sented to the top finishers in the men’s P Redu r c i t c i e on! and women’s open and wheelchair divisions. High school team scores will also be posted, with the top three teams from each division receiving trophies for both men and women. The awards cer- emony for the high school team com- petition and for the overall men’s and women’s 10K winners will be held at 11:30 a.m. on the Prefontaine Track, adjacent to the finish line. Divisional awards will be presented at noon. The entry fee is $30 if made prior to Sept. 14, and $40 thereafter. High School team competitors must register on athletic.net and receive a discounted registration fee.
