The Bix 7 will be this year the first race with 2 Olympic gold medalists, 1 Olympic silver medalist and “Bix Billy” (who have run the Bix annually 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.
