    1975 Charleston Distance Run 15-Miler
    "A Salute to Pre"
    road race singlet
    !!
    Please see all
    six
    photos, as they are an important part of my description. Simply put, this is an
    exceedingly rare
    true vintage
    unisex tank top/singlet, in
    a-m-a-z-i-n-g
    high-grade condition!! This vintage road race singlet was made by
    Champion
    (see vintage blue bar label), and is a "Medium". Highly dramatic yet somber white on black singlet pays tribute to the late University of Oregon Ducks distance runner
    Steve Prefontaine
    , with
    "A Salute To Pre"
    on the singlet's back (see 2nd pic). The singlet is dated 1975 on the front. <>
    History:
    Steve Prefontaine was tragically killed in an auto accident in 1975. In this 1975 Charleston 15-miler (
    Charleston, West Virginia
    ), the Distance Run dedicated their road race to Pre's memory and printed "A Salute to Pre" on the back of the runner's singlets. Prefontaine had been one of the race marshals in the '73 inaugural race parade, which was the main reason for the tribute. The offered 1975 Charleston singlet was the only year sleeveless shirts were issued. The singlet measures approximately
    22"
    (top of neckline to bottom hem)
    x 16 1/2"
    (armpit-to-armpit).
