SUBWAY to Bring 26.2 Foot Sub to Inaugural Eugene Marathon - April 29
SUBWAY Restaurants' Jared Fogel to Attend Event

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.
