More About The Bix This Year.
Overall this year was another great one as we looked towards safety and celebration. Here were some new additions.
Seniors (those 50 and older) can participate in the Bechtel Trust Senior Bix, which will start in LeClaire Park on Tuesday, July 23rd, and will be a mile and a half of flat surface. Seniors who sign up for that can also compete in the Quick Bix or the full Bix 7 race for free.
The Bix 7 this year will be the first race to feature 2 Olympic gold medalists, 1 Olympic silver medalist, and "Bix Billy" (who has been running the Bix every year since 1980) all running in the same race. The gold medalists are Frank Shorter (1982 Olympics), Joan Benoit Samuelson (1984 Olympics), and silver medalist Meb Keflezighi (2004 Olympics). You can see more here.
Happy 50 years!
