Goofs:
Miscellaneous
The Olympic Fanfare is heard during television coverage scene of the 1972 Munich Olympics. However, John Williams didn't compose that piece until the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Audio/Video Mismatch
In the scene where Bowerman goes to talk to Pre at The Paddock, you hear Donald Sutherland say, "I haven't noticed you working out all that much," but his mouth doesn't move.

Factual Mistake
Finnish runner Juha Vaatainen's name is in the end credits miss-spelled as "Juha Vastinen".

Factual Mistake
In the restoration meeting scene, Pre was shown before the race as scared and unsure of himself against tough competition. In actuality, for this race, Pre was upset at the lack of competition in this race.
Trivia:
Earlier Robert Towne wanted Tommy Lee Jones to play Bill Bowerman, but he turned it down.

Tom Cruise was considered playing Prefontaine, but decided against it citing that he was too old for the part.

Earlier Harrison Ford was considered for the role of Bill Bowerman.
