The Steve Prefontaine Festival of Miles is an event that plans to bring world class athletes to the hometown of Steve Prefontaine and change the lives of local children at the same time. We want to grow the love of the sport in Coos Bay and give shoes to the many kids who are in need. The event will be held on Saturday, August 10th, at Steve Prefontaine Track in Coos Bay Oregon. Races will begin at 6 P.M. with a youth 400 Meter run. Community mile races will proceed by ascending age, ending at around 8 P.M. with the main event – an elite mile race which would include world class athletes attempting to break the four-minute mile barrier. We plan to pay our world class athletes 8 deep with a total prize purse of $7,500 and a $2000 top prize. The first 10 athletes to commit to the race will also receive $500 for travel money. This event is all about putting bringing world class athletes to a small community, while giving shoes to those in need.

I am a graduate of Marshfield High School in Coos Bay Oregon. I participated in both track and cross country while attending Marshfield High School. My sucess as a athlete stemed from our local hero Steve Prefontaine an American distance running legend who held American records from the 2000 meter race to the 10000 meter race. I want honor him by putting on a world class events with athletes who can break four in the mile barrier on a track named after him. At the same time I would be inspiring the next generation and helping those in need by giving shoes to local children.
