Watch 'Without Limits' downtown Wednesday night
EUGENE, Ore. - "Without Limits," a movie about the life of Steve Prefontaine filmed in Eugene in 1996, will show Wednesday, Aug. 1, at 8:45 p.m., presented by Summer in the City.
Starring Billy Crudup as Pre and Donald Sutherland as Bill Bowerman, the movie was produced by Tom Cruise.
The story follows Prefontaine from his early youth in Coos Bay, Ore., to the Munich Olympics and his untimely death on a winding road near Eugene's Hendricks Park. The film is rated PG-13 and runs 117 minutes.
Filmed in Eugene in 1996, the film showcases local heroes and depicts the beauty of the Willamette Valley and Eugene.
Organizers plan to bring back the life-size cutouts of the athletes that were on display at the The Starting Block at the TrackTown12 Festival. Come get your pictures taken with our (cut-out) track superstars, Ashton Eaton, Galen Rupp and others.
My hero's don't run
I liked the movie "Prefontaine" better.
So I can glean that the movie will be shown (WHAT) and that it is about Steve Prefontaine (WHO) but you seem to have left out the "WHERE" portion of the story. Â Or is it being shown on random building walls in the Downtown area?
Oh, look. Â Apparently it is at Kesey Square:
