Quad-City Times Bix 7 is a celebrated seven-mile road race in Davenport with a fast, festive summer atmosphere and a full family program.
Course Highlights
The seven-mile course is the centerpiece, with the race’s signature distance offering a different challenge from the standard 5K, 10K or half marathon. The event also includes QuickBix and youth-focused activities, making race morning feel like a citywide festival rather than a single-distance competition.
Davenport’s historic streets and Mississippi River corridor gives the race its sense of place, with the start and finish designed to put runners close to the most memorable parts of the destination. The course profile and terrain make it worthwhile to study the organizer maps before race day rather than relying only on the headline distance.
Race Details
The next listed race date is 2027-07-24 with a typical start around 08:00 local time. Distances include 7 miles, QuickBix, youth races. Check the official website for registration deadlines, wave assignments, course changes, time limits and final logistics, especially if you are traveling internationally.
The 2027 Bix 7 is scheduled for July 24 with an 8:00 a.m. start. Summer heat and humidity can arrive early in Iowa, so hydrate before the start, use the official packet-pickup schedule and plan to stay for the music and community activity after finishing. Build a simple race-weekend plan that covers packet pickup, sleep, breakfast, hydration, transport and a post-race meeting point. For destination events, keeping the plan flexible is useful because weather and road closures can change the best way to reach the start.
