The King of the Roads Four time Boston and New York City Marathon Champion, "Boston Billy" dominated marathoning in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Track & Field News ranked Bill the #1 marathoner in the world in 1975, 1977 and 1979. He won 22 marathons during his career. He set a new world best in the 10K (28:36.3 in 1978) and a world record in the 25K, running 1:14:11.8 in 1979. Decades 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. Top American Marathoner Ryan Hall Finds Inspiration in "Relentless" In an interview in the Boston Globe before the 2009 Boston Marathon, our poster is discussed: Legendary inspirationAt the Snowcreek Athletic Club, Hall usually spends a portion of every day working on his strength and flexibility with medicine balls, form drills, and balance exercises. And every day, he passes a photo of Rodgers winning the 1979 Boston Marathon. The word "Relentless" is printed across the image. Pointing at the poster, Hall commented, "This is what makes Boston so cool..." When Rodgers heard about how the display inspires Hall, he called it "an honor," and "kind of cool"... It was all of the above because Rodgers has such respect for Hall's talent and enthusiastic approach to the marathon. "Ryan really goes for it," said Rodgers. "That's what you need to win. You've got to run strategically, but you've also got to run with that spirit. He has that."
