Bob Forbes receives the Abbott WWM Six Star Finisher Medal
April 30th, 2019

Congratulations to Bob Forbes of Moncton, NB who placed in 20th out of 290 runners for the 65-69 age group at yesterday's Virgin Money London Marathon in a time of 3:32:46! This performance, while impressive on its own, was also the final piece in the puzzle for Bob to receive the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Finisher medal.

The Abbott WWM Six Star Finisher medal is awarded to runners who complete all six of the world's greatest marathons including the BMW Berlin, Bank of America Chicago, TCS New York City, Tokyo, BAA Boston and Virgin Money London Marathons. After the Boston Marathon of 2019, there were only 2,570 registered Six Star Finishers worldwide, of which 83 are Canadian. Bob Forbes will be added to this number of remarkable individuals.

What an impressive man, and an inspiration for our community of runners.
