Bill Rodgers and the World that Followed




The Boston Marathon Podcast show

Summary: While racing the Boston Marathon in April of 1975, Bill Rodgers' shoelace became untied while leading the race in Newton. He went to a knee and laced up, and when he started up again he never looked back, winning in 2:09:55. With the performance, Rodgers set a personal best by about ten minutes, a new Course Record, new American Record, and began a legendary running career.
