EUGENE, Ore. - SUBWAY restaurants spokesperson and weight loss champion, 
Jared Fogle, will be in Eugene to help kick off the inaugural SUBWAY Eugene 
Marathon Sunday, April 29, 2007. Fogle, who became famous for losing 245 
pounds in one year while eating SUBWAY sandwiches will fire the starting 
gun for the main event and lead pre-race stretching for the SUBWAY one mile 
kids run. At the finish line, racers will be greeted by Fogle who will be 
handing out pieces of a 26.2 foot long sub sandwich in recognition of the 
26.2 mile race.

"From my previous visits to Oregon I can easily see why it is such a great 
state for physical activity and staying fit," said Fogle.

The SUBWAY Eugene Marathon will be the first major destination marathon 
since the early 1980s to take place in Eugene. The event will include a 
marathon, half-marathon, five kilometer and one mile kid's run. The various 
runs will begin near the historic Hayward Field and will take runners 
through Eugene and Springfield, on city streets and bike paths finishing 
near Autzen Stadium.

"We're proud to support the SUBWAY Eugene Marathon through our 
sponsorship," said John Goggins, Eugene market SUBWAY restaurants board 
chair. "SUBWAY is committed to promoting healthy lifestyle choices, and 
participants in the Marathon are an inspiration to us all to be more active 
and to eat healthy." 

SUBWAY restaurants is the largest submarine sandwich franchise in the 
world, with more than 27,000 restaurants in 85 countries. There are 44 
Subway restaurants in the Eugene area.
