The Ricky Cox Finish Line was established in 1985 by Ricky Cox, a three-time winner of the Cowtown Marathon. Ricky won Cowtown in 1982, 1983 and 1986. In 1983, he also ran the Boston Marathon in 2:17 and was one of only 160 runners in the nation to qualify for the 1984 U.S. Olympic Trials. Ricky has been involved with the Dallas-Fort Worth running community for nearly three decades. His son Demery also has followed his father's footsteps and competes in area road races. Demery has won several overall titles. The Ricky Cox Finish Line includes a professional race staff with more than 20 years of experience. Ricky is well known and a respected ``sports icon'' in Fort Worth and the surrounding Metroplex. He is recognized as one of the area's top running champions during his career. ``I have made significant contributions to the Metroplex running and road-race communities,'' Ricky said. ``My popular Trinity 5000 Summer Race Series is in its 23rd year (2007), and has been host to thousands of participants.'' |
