Each year, the
Quad-City Times Bix 7 draws thousands of runners to Davenport, Iowa for one of the most iconic road races in the country. As part of the race-day excitement, Russell’s Beat the Elite Challenge gives two local athletes the opportunity to race head-to-head against the overall Bix 7 champion. The two selected runners will receive a calculated head start based on a competitive handicap to level the playing field. If either or both athletes cross the finish line before the elite winner, they will take home $2,500.
