Review & FAQ:
Honoring the life and achievements of Coos Bay local Steve Prefontaine, three larger-than-life murals have been erected in Coos Bay. The Steve Prefontaine Murals were executed by talented Coos Bay artists (Old City Artists, LLC) and depict the Olympic athlete at various stages of his prestigious running career. The panel on your left depicts the runner during his high-school days; the middle panel represents Steve as a college athlete and the right hand mural shows him at the top of his game at the 1972 Munich Olympics. The athlete was tragically killed in a car crash – he was just 24 years old. You can find the murals prominently displayed on a Hwy 101 wall in the heart of Downtown Coos Bay.
