Every sport and athletic discipline has an iconic figure who exemplifies excellence - the NBA has Michael Jordan, swimming has Michael Phelps, and the NHL has Wayne Gretsky.  Bill Rodgers represents the same spirit of excellence in the discipline of running, and he is coming to Wilmington to speak at the 2011 Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Marathon.

"I'm extremely impressed by the overwhelming success of the Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Marathon in its first year. The community support and excitement behind this race is extremely encouraging, and is a prime example of the dynamic future of running" added Bill Rodgers.  

Bill Rodgers won both the Boston and NYC Marathon four times, and he dominated road races in the 1970s and early 1980s.  He will be making an appearance at the Quintiles Marathon's pasta dinner to inspire and motivate our athletes.  To read more about Bill Rodgers, CLICK HERE
