Featuring interviews and press articles, it offers an inspiring overview of his achievements, personality, and competitive spirit, earning a 4.5-star rating from over 670 readers. ## Description Looks at the life of the long-distance runner who had 25 consecutive wins for distance races over a mile, and who fought for adequate funding for American amateur athletics Review: Good for a book that looks like it's made from interviews and press articles - I think this book does deserve a top ranking because it does give us good insight to Pre's life and is inspiring though still a basic overview. With that said, it does seem largely to be based on newspaper and magazine articles and interviews and as someone said, seems to scratch the surface about Prefontaine. However, in doing that, we still get the basic facts of his life, hometown, achievements, a bit on his training habits and his personality. Perhaps there is the need for a more grand examination of this runner but living tragically a short life, this is still a fair summary. Perhaps more about his trip to the Olympics and disagreements with the AAU could have been written about but I'm sure, there was a lot more to come from him. Eventually, I've got to see the movies. Review: What an inspiration! - A great read, especially for runners. Pre was quite the competitor and driven to succeed. He didn't have very many close friends because no one could keep up with him! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #180,251 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #32 in Hockey Biographies (Books) #50 in Triathlons (Books) #63 in Track & Field Sports | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 672 Reviews | ## Images ![Pre: The Story of America's Greatest Running Legend, Steve Prefontaine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UE0sWM1cL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for a book that looks like it's made from interviews and press articles *by T***M on February 1, 2009* I think this book does deserve a top ranking because it does give us good insight to Pre's life and is inspiring though still a basic overview.

He didn't have very many close friends because no one could keep up with him! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Overview of Pre's Time *by A***C on July 17, 2013* Enjoyed this book about Pre. I didn't know a lot about him, but being a runner, I was very interested. It was a great story about Pre. Lots of little anecdotes and quotes from people who knew him/spent time around him. Author did a good job of bringing out the essence of Pre's impact which was significant given the short time he was with us. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/3951196-pre-the-story-of-americas-greatest-running-legend-steve-prefontaine](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/3951196-pre-the-story-of-americas-greatest-running-legend-steve-prefontaine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
