first-time Quad-City Times Bix 7 runner, Lonnie Stevenson, who grew up in the
Quad-Cities and moved to Arizona in the 1980s. Rodgers held a shakeout run
Friday, July 28, 2023, along the riverfront trail ahead of Saturday's QCTimes
Bix 7.

Bill Rodgers ran his last marathon in 2009, but the former record holder and
Olympian still brings star power to the Quad-Cities.

Rodgers has won 22 marathons, including the New York and Boston races, all
during a span from 1974 to 1983.

But Kevin O’Brien, a 2007 Davenport Assumption graduate who ran with Rodgers
during his "shake-out run" Friday morning, will always remember a moment of
kindness in the early 1990s.

O’Brien was about 4 years old at the time. Alongside his parents and sister, he
watched Rodgers accept his prize at the awards ceremony. O’Brien can’t remember
the exact year – perhaps 1993, when Rodgers placed 2nd in the QCTimes Bix 7
master’s division and donated his $500 in winnings to the victims of that
spring’s devastating floods.

O’Brien and his family must have caught Rodgers’ eye. The Boston-area runner
told them, as much as he loved racing, he missed his family while away.

“He said, ‘You guys remind me of them,’” O’Brien said. And Rodgers handed
O’Brien his souvenir Quad-City Times Bix 7 watch, an analog with gold backing.
Then, Rodgers gave O’Brien’s sister his recorded tape of the race.

Now, O’Brien, who lives in New York, tries to make a homecoming out of the
QCTimes Bix 7 to see his family — and Rodgers.

“He’s such a great guy. He’s all about the people,” O’Brien said.

Close to 50 people ran the mile-long warmup with Rodgers Friday, the day before
his 43rd time running the race.

And Rodgers made everyone feel welcome.

He introduced himself, asked about runners’ plans for the upcoming seven-miler,
future races, or life in general and shared his own stories from his running
career during the morning's easy pace along the riverfront. He was generous with
his time, answering questions, taking photos, and signing books.

Rodgers' enthusiasm inspires Jolene and Steve Vipond, of Aledo, who've each run
the QCTimes Bix 7 more than 30 times.

"If he can do that, we're going to try to keep running as long as we can,
because he's so enthusiastic and happy about his running," Jolene Vipond said.

Rodgers grew up in a running boom. He, his brother Charlie, and a good friend
formed a cross country team when Rodgers was a sophomore in 1963. Rodgers was a
quick runner and won the state title for the mile at 4:28.

"We had a good coach, who was a track guy, and he did not over train us,"
Rodgers said. "So we had fun. If you have fun, that's the key."

"It just took us all by surprise," Rodgers said of the growing popularity of
running at the time.

He went to a Division III college 15 minutes from home, where he ran in college.
But he didn't think about the marathon — the race he became known for — until
his college roommate won the Boston Marathon in 1968.

"We didn't understand the marathon. What the hell are you doing? Why are you
running so far?" Rodgers said. "You have to see it. If you see the Bix, you
start thinking you want to run, because you see yourself maybe out there."

He graduated in 1970 with an M.S. in special education and stepped away from
professional running for a time, working in his field.

But running called back.

Rodgers ran his first marathon in Boston in 1973, and it didn't go as well as he
hoped.

"I got crushed," Rodgers said.

There was no water on the course, and he didn't know how to pace a marathon. He
dropped out around 20 miles, and went home.

"I quit running for three months, but then I came back," he said. "You can
always come back. And I did. And I joined Greater Boston. See, that was the
key."

In the fall of 1973, Rodgers joined track coach Bill Squires' Greater Boston
Track Club as part of a team of elite runners. He won the Bay State Marathon in
2:28 that October and returned to the Boston Marathon to win it in 1975,
bursting onto the national scene.

In 1978, Rodgers entered 30 road races and won 27 of them.

In 1980, when the U.S. boycotted the summer Olympic games in the USSR after the
country invaded Afghanistan, Rodgers accepted an invitation to the QCTimes Bix 7
instead.

"I remember where we were staying we could see the Mississippi River, and I
remember looking out at the river and saying, 'This is incredible,'" Rodgers
said.

When he won the race, he was invited back again. And again. And again.

Saturday will be the 43rd time Rodgers has run the QCTimes Bix 7. It's the road
race he's entered more than any other and is among the most challenging, he
said.

At 75, Rodgers isn't expecting to run a record time; he's not expecting even to
win his age group. He estimates he's run 190,000 miles in his lifetime, and
others his age who got started running later have less wear and tear.

"I'm like the car that's very worn down — you know, with bald tires. And these
guys have been in the garage," he said. "They're older, but they have fewer
miles than me."

But it doesn't dampen his infectious enthusiasm.

"I'm just glad to be here, to be doing it," Rodgers said, smiling.
