Bobbi is a three-time winner of the Boston Marathon Women’s Division in the pre-sanctioned era, 1966, 1967 and 1968. She was the first woman ever to run and complete the Boston Marathon in 1966 at a time when it was believed that women were not physically able to run marathon distances and were not allowed to complete in events longer than one and a half miles. 

Bobbi Gibb's zest for life and natural curiosity show up in the many hats she wears:  mother, scientific researcher for neurodegenerative diseases, attorney, athlete, author and speaker, to name a few.
