The King of the Roads

28 years after he won his first major marathon, Bill Rodgers still competes at a very high level, running races across the country and inspiring generations of runners. When he appears at running events he continues to gain fans with his down to earth, friendly manner.

But you do not win both the Boston and NYC Marathons four times each with an easy going approach. To dominate road running in the 1970s and early 1980s, and to keep racing today, Bill can only be described as "relentless".

As Bill is quoted on the poster:

"To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month, or even one year - but for a lifetime."

We are proud to offer this wonderful vintage photo of Bill flying to victory.
