Hulu.com, the website featuring full-length TV shows and movies, has posted the 1997 classic “Prefontaine.” Starring Jared Leto (Requiem for a Dream) and Ed O’Neill (Married with Children), the movie that has probably been seen at least a dozen times by anyone visiting this site is now available in full-length online!

Update: Thanks to our friends at Hulu you can now watch the entire video at above. (Or follow the link below to watch it at Hulu)

Steve Prefontaine is on the December 2009 cover of Runner’s World Magazine, the world’s largest running publication. The rare photo that is a featured in a beautiful design is a refreshing departure from their typical model shots. The cover shows Pre running in the foreground of a silver Runner’s World logo (see link below).

The cover itself is an absolute collectible, but there’s nothing too revealing about Pre inside. As part of a “Best Of” issue, Runner’s World highlights items and people from the past and present, but like a fashion magazine that contains little content associated with its cover, there is only a single, uninformative paragraph on Pre. Nonetheless, grab a copy if you can!

To celebrate the life of Steve Prefontaine’s former running coach, Bill Bowerman, Oregon Public Broadcasting released a half hour documentary on his life. The video includes interviews with some of Bill’s former runners, friends, and even Bill himself.

Yesterday, July 20th, major networks and newspapers celebrated the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. But to visitors of this site, the 60s are remembered for a different reason: Pre. So, where was he on this magical occasion?

While the space race pitted the United States’ best rocket scientists against Russia’s, Steve was racing their best athletes on the track. On July 19, 1969, just a day before the Moon landing, Steve ran an impressive 14:40 5k in a meet titled “USA v. USSR.” By the time the first steps were taken on the Moon, Pre was probably still looking back on his great race and looking forward to his upcoming year at his dream school: the University of Oregon. Little did the track and field world know what amazing feats were around the corner for the kid from Coos Bay that just graduated high school.
