Organiser's description
This was the club's original race, and one of Pre's favorites. That's right, you can run in Prefontaine's footsteps! And what did Pre love? Hills! This is a very hilly and challenging course that hits both Coos Bay and North Bend. Please note that while the course is designed to minimize street crossings, there are a few and the course is open to traffic. Please run safely!
NOTE: Registration is in the shelter beside Mingus Park to provide a better registration experience and also so that we can do a kid's run around Mingus Park. Park by the softball field and cross 10th street to register.
Overall and age group winners (1st -3rd) get ribbons and bragging rights. Everyone gets post-race snacks.
