Setting and Physical Description
Pre's Trail, located on the north side of the Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon, United
States, is an approximately four and one fifth-mile-long running and walking trail. The
woodchip-and-bark-surfaced trail features riparian scenery, including grasslands, duck ponds,
and woodlands, as well as guide signs with trail maps at each of three primary trailheads. Near
downtown Eugene, in Alton Baker Park, Pre's Trail is part of an extensive network of running
trails in and around Eugene and neighboring Springfield.
There are three main loops, with interlinking paths:
Southeast (Big Loop) ~ 1.66 miles
Center (Parcourse Loop) ~ 65 miles
Northwest (Bottom Loop) ~ 1.06 miles
Pre's Trail lies within Alton Baker Park, a city park owned and administered by the City
of Eugene. The park, approximately 380 acres in area, is a tract of relatively undeveloped land.
The mostly flat topography displays a riparian and grass savannah landscape typical of the
Southern Willamette Valley. The south edge of the park is bordered by the Willamette River, and
its northern boundaries run along a main artery of vehicle traffic, Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard, with the Stadium located nearby. Pre's Trail is
accessible from parking lots adjacent to three trailhead entrances at each of the three main loops.
There are two footbridges, providing access from the University of Oregon campus, located just
across the Willamette River. From campus, the Center Loop can be accessed via the Frohnmayer
Footbridge (south of Autzen Stadium, half a block north of Franklin and Agate Streets), and to
the southeastern Big Loop via the Knickerbocker Footbridge (near Franklin and Riverview
Streets).
The trail was designed with the primary user group joggers and walkers in mind. The
design purposefully avoids crossing roadways and follows natural features in the landscape, in
turn providing a gently winding path intended to prevent monotonous long, straight stretches of
trail and directing the user to scenic features of the park. The path historically consisted of
wood products industry wastedonated by multiple wood products companies
of early-stage lumber processing
where bark and other waste material is produced.

The path is approximately 8 feet wide for the majority of its 4.15 mile length. The top
surface of the trail is intended to crown minimally in order to aid in sheeting off rain. The base
materials of bark mulch, approximately 1 to 3 inches deep lies over
dense gravel at 6 to 9 inches in depth.
Historic Context
Steve
Raymond and Elfriede Prefontaine. He was one of three children in the family, with sisters Neta
and Linda. Starting in middle school, Prefontaine discovered his love for cross-country running.
At Marshfield High School in Coos Bay, under the coaching of Walt McClure, Prefontaine broke
the two-mile American record. In 1969, he enrolled at the University of Oregon (UO), training
and competing under coach Bill Bowerman, one of the later co-founders of the athletic footwear
company that would become Nike.
Prefontaine quickly achieved national fame after appearing on the cover of Sports
Illustrated in 1970, and while at UO claimed seven NCAA titles, placed fourth in the 5,000-
meter race at the 1972 Munich Olympics, and eventually claimed American records at every
distance between 2,000 and 10,000 meters. He is arguably the most well-known distance runner
from the United States.
In the early hours of May 30, 1975, Prefontaine died in a tragic vehicle accident when his
MGB convertible collided with a naturally-occurring rock outcropping on Judkins Point, along a
curved, inclined section of Skyline Boulevard in Eugene, Oregon. His car flipped and pinned
him underneath, by the time the medics arrived on scene he was pronounced deadhe was 24.
The site of the accident was dedicated
by the City of Eugene as the Prefontaine Memorial Park in December of 1997 and designated a
City Historical Landmark in 2016.

a great los
friend, family and admirers sought out avenues to
memorialize their track hero. Of the ideas that came forward, a jogging and parcourse facility in
Alton Baker Park gained popular enthusiasm. The newly-established Prefontaine Foundation
organized efforts to establish and build the trail. Lane County Parks and Open Space
Department, which managed the park, in coordination with the Prefontaine Foundation, Oregon
Track Club, Coach Bill Bowerman, and track athletes Geoff Hollister and Jeff Banister
coordinated donations, grants, and trail planning. In three months the bulk of the trail was cut
and new surface material placed. when some
500 runners participated in a memorial run dedicated to Prefontaine in addition to other
fundraising efforts and dedication. Final construction continued through 1976 and included
installing additional exercise stations (6 total).
The idea of an outdoor gym, known in many parts of the world as fitness trails or
parcourses, was born in Switzerland. A fitness trail or parcourse consists of a path or course with
outdoor exercise equipment or obstacles installed along its length. The original trail of this type
was built in 1968 near Zurich. These fitness trails received financial support from the insurance
company VITA (now Zurich Financial Services Group), giving the unique trails their name, Vita
Parcours, which they are still known by in Switzerland. By the early 1970s, there were many
such trails throughout Europe. Today, Switzerland boasts about 500 across the country and there
are an estimated 2,500 worldwide.
Prefontaine traveled on several occasions to compete in Europe, including during the
1972 Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway; the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich Germany, and the
1974 World Games in Helsinki, Finland followed by the July Games in Stockholm. During these
trips, he was able to experience the novel exercise trails. Having admired such facilities while
competing in Scandinavia and Europe, Prefontaine began to advocate for constructing a similar

History
has had a long history of development, first under the jurisdiction of Lane County Parks
Department, and more recently under the jurisdiction of the City of Eugene Parks and Open
Space Division. The original 20-acre parcel was purchased by Lane County in 1881, however
most of the park land was acquired by Lane County Parks between 1959 and 1964 through the
North Bank Park Acquisition Program which assembled, through the joint efforts of several
government agencies, the sections of land comprising the bulk of what is now Alton Baker Park.
Agencies involved included Lane County, City of Eugene, University of Oregon, and the Eugene

Water and Electric Board (EWEB). Before its identification as a potential recreation site, the area
was used for gravel mining, land fill, orchards, and farming. Alton Baker, Sr., for whom the park
was eventually named in honor of, had been a principal sponsor and promoter of the efforts to

establish the park. Proposed uses for the park during the park planning stages, beginning with
the Eugene Park Study of 1951 and through the dedication ceremony in 1967, varied from
include indoor tennis and gymnastics. However, an early criterion for the park was that the
dominant land use be for passive recreation. The newly appointed Alton Baker Park
Development Advisory Committee, created in in 1972, ultimately dismissed the golf course
proposal in favor of pedestrian walks and trails, picnic shelters, and gardens.
The idea of a naturalistic, exercise-specific trail based on those European models had
been proposed by Prefontaine to the Lane County Park and Open Space Department, likely in
conjunction with the brand new park land planning process. The real possibility was considered

for building a one-mile trail. as part of a search memorialize
the local track hero, the proposal for a five-mile jogging trail quickly gained recognition.
In three months, due largely in part to cooperation between Land County Parks, Oregon
Track Club, the Eugene Register-Guard newspaper, businessmen of the Eugene-Springfield-

the idea quickly became reality. Paul Beistel, superintendent of Lane County Parks and Open
Space, landscape architect Ewald Nielsen, and landscape designer Mike Dooley have been
credited with much of the preliminary plan and design work.
Construction of the path began with machine scrapping the base and berms for the path.
Lane County crews, augmented by employees from a federal Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act (CETA) program, used county equipment to cut the base, followed by spreading
and smoothing the hogged fuel by hand. The hogged fuel, in addition to its plentiful availability
in the area, provided a soft base material for the runners. Crews watered down and rolled the
base material to aid in compacting the surface.

Originally the parcourse included six exercise facilities, however those facilities were
removed circa 2000. The exercise stations were designed by Lane County Parks with input from
the Oregon Track Club and, in particular, Dr. Stan James, local orthopedic surgeon and board
9
member of the Alton Baker Park Development Advisory Committee. These stations were
designed to provide the opportunity of a total body workout while jogging. The stations provided
bars for stretching, a pull-up bar, balance beam, parallel bars, and small horizontal bars for
10
jumping over.
Final details included the installation of kilometer posts, placed along the path. Signing
was also installed at access point to indicate the pedestrian only designation. Finally, a scaled
map of the path, with distances and trail identification, was placed near a centrally located
parking area, in close proximity to the foot bridge across the canoe canal at Autzen Stadium.
Total cost for the project was estimated at $38,400, but actual costs for Lane County
came to only $8,000. Federal funds covered $24,000, while $6,800 was donated in materials and
hauling. Costs of grading, surveying, and engineering were donated by Lane County. The total
construction time for the bulk of the project was 10 weeks, while additional signage, markers,
and equipment installation concluded in August 1976.
In 1977, light posts were added to approximately 2.5 miles of the path. The Prefontaine
Foundation contributed a significant portion of the funds for the project, quickly raising the
necessary $9,000.
Currently, the trail crosses under the Interstate 5 highway towards Springfield. The
original trail never crossed I-5, but eventually tied into the Springfield system with the addition

down to I-5, the trail has been returned to the original location. However, Interstate construction
necessitated moving the trail twice over its history.

amphitheater resulted in multiple ourse along the south side of the canoe
canal. Ultimately, the loop was rerouted closer to the Day Island Road parking area.
In 2000, three informational signs were placed along Pres Trail, providing a brief history
of Prefontaines career and a narrative of the creation of the trails. The 2000 signs replaced
previous signage which was removed due to vandalism. The more recent signs were a project
made possible through a combined effort of the Oregon Track Club, Eugene Parks, and

Prefontaine Foundation.
Community Involvement
Accounts indicate that the Lane County Parks Department was immediately receptive to
the idea of
13
the community to pitch in and help build the trails as a memorial to the runner. Lane County
agreed to move forward with developing the trail and by September (three months later), the
dedication and groundbreaking ceremony occurred.

hogged fuel. Community volunteers also manned work parties to perform routine trail
maintenance. For example, in May of 1976 a work party was organized by Lane County, in
conjunction with the Oregon Track Club, to help remove rough wood chips surfacing through the
newly spread trail surface. Nike, which was co-founded by Prefontaines coach, Bill Bowerman,
also participated in improvement projects, in addition to provided funds for ongoing

Beginning with the inaugural event during the trails dedication on Labor Day, 1975, the

Research for this application was unable to clarify when the annual event ceased, however, the
trail continues to serve as the venue for high school and college cross-country races such as the
Bill Dellinger Invitational and Pres Trail X-Country Challenge.
Vandalism of trail features, particularly of the 100-watt mercury vapor lights and lamp
posts along the trail, as well as crime within Alton Baker Park, proved on ongoing problem for
Lane County authorities. Between 1978 and 1979, a small number of sexual assaults and
vandalism prompted a small, volunteer patrols of the trail in spring 1979. The patrol members

maintenance. The Prefontaine Foundation formed in 1976 by some members of the Oregon
Track Club to provide a vehicle for funds to sustain the trail. The Prefontaine Foundation was
small board consisting of 5 to 7 members. The Prefontaine Foundation was the primary advocate
for the trail in the early days, particularly after 1982 when, due to budget constraints, Lane
County laid off all of its Parks and Open Space field personnel. At the turn of the century,
leadership on that front shifted to the Oregon Track Club, which pushed to renovate the trail and
preserve it during the early 2000s. At that time, an agreement between the Oregon Track Club
and Prefontaine Foundation established that the Foundation would provide further financial
support while Oregon Track Club facilitated the necessary maintenance work. That agreement
remained in effect until approximately 2016 when Jim Jaqua entered into an agreement with City

Prefontaine and his namesake trail.
Furthermore, historically significant as an early example of dedicated
running and walking trails built in the United States. The construction of the trail and its almost
instant popularity closely relates to the rising popularity of recreation jogging in the United
States. In the United State, the act of jogging as a form of exercise and recreation is closely tied
to Bill Bowerman, who observed hundreds of people runningnot just the athletes on a trip to
21
New Zealand in 1963. On his return from New Zealand, the Oregon coach consulted with Dr.
Waldo Harris, a cardiologist, and Dr. Ralph Christensen, a general practitioner, to stimulate
citizen interest. Responding to a newspaper article, about twenty-five people showed up at
Hayward Field, on the University of Oregon campus, to learn some fundamentals of jogging.
One week later, about 100 interested parties attended the workshop. Popularity quickly surpassed
safe conditions and, subsequently, the workshops were cancelled. Instead, Bowerman and Dr.
Harris equally co-authored a 25-page booklet, entitled Jogging, which was based on their
novel research into the benefits of recreational running. A later, expanded version was published
and sold more than one million copies by 1977. The popularity of jogging could be witnessed on
22
Pres trail, where, on a sunny day hundreds of joggers can be seen using the surface. The
popularity of jogging and dedicated, mulch-surfaced trails proliferated nationwide.

the trail retains much of the views one might have experienced in 1975. Although frequently
resurfaced due to popular use, the replacement materials are primarily in-kind, closely
resembling the hogged-fuel wood chips. Lastly, the trail has continued to serve running and
walking purposes as originally intended.
Consideration for designating the trail includes its commemorative origin and age at 43,
below the generally accepted 50 year eligibility threshold. Commemorative properties are
constructed after the occurrence of an important event or life of an important person. The
National Park Service, from which the City of Eugene designation criteria are based, provides
expressions at the date of creation. Therefore, a commemorative property must possess
significance base on its own value, not on the value of the event or person being memorialized.
significance derives from its symbolic association with Prefontaine and as a widely recognized
reminder of the enduring contributions valued by those closely associated with its construction.
