<br /> <br />12) Prefontaine Running Trail <br /> <br />A dream of University of Oregon track standout Steve Prefontaine, this 4.2-mile trail <br />recently received a complete renovation. The Trail, which runs along the north side of the <br />Willamette River through open meadowlands and shaded forests, provides a runner’s <br />paradise in the heart of Eugene. The restoration project was completed thanks to the <br />support of local fundraising efforts and dedicated volunteers who have shoveled, raked <br />and cut brush from the path through the years. <br /> <br />Miles of trails offer diverse terrain and training territory for runners of all skill-levels, <br />including many well-known athletes drawn to the area to live and compete. European- <br />style bark running trails, first advocated by Steve Prefontaine, are prevalent throughout <br />the city from level pathways to hillside woodland trails. <br /> <br /> <br />Lead: Jan Bohman <br />Assist/review: <br /> Kelly Darnell <br />Target media: <br /> small regional, large regional, national <br />Opportunities: <br /> <br />Small regional: all of Oregon, with emphasis on Portland, Salem, <br />Medford/Ashland, Bend <br />Large regional: Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Boise-daily papers; Sunset – <br />West Coast issue; <br />National: call CVALCO and Travel Oregon for suggestions/leads/ journalists <br />who have visited <br />Interviews: <br /> Tom Jordan, local Elite runner, Oregon Track club member involved in <br />upkeep of Pre’s Trail <br />Potential partners: <br /> Oregon Track Club <br />Timing <br />: fall/winter for spring coverage <br /> <br /> <br />
