>Offered here for your consideration is a rare, old and original 1975 NCAA Preparation track and field meet program, featuring STEVE PREFONTAINE in what was to be Pre's FINAL RACE before his tragic auto accident later that night. Please see all six photos, as they are an important part of my description. Will ship *Postage-Paid* in the USA! <>NOTE: I know of two Pre's "Last Race" programs that have sold in excess of $1, 000.00; one on eBay last... year, and another in a sports catalog auction. This cream-colored program on thick paper stock with green-hued text/photos is a simple one page fold-over that measures approximately 8 1/2" x 11". Steve Prefontaine raced in the meet's final event, the 5, 000 meter run versus rival/friend Frank Shorter (both are pictured on the program's front cover, in another race against one another...). The program is dated May 29, 1975...hours after the race in which Pre would win (13:23.8), the former University of Oregon Ducks distance runner was tragically killed in an auto accident here in Eugene, Oregon. This track & field meet was held at Hayward Field here in Tracktown, USA - the site of many of Pre's thrilling races! The front cover of program blares the title "They Meet Again Tonight in the 5, 000 Meters". The program was never "scored" (written in). >Build your Prefontaine Classic program collection with this Steve Prefontaine **HOLY GRAIL** and rare LAST RACE program!! <>Condition: other than a vertical fold down the middle of program, in *Fine Shape* overall, showing minor age/handling faults...nice!!
