Bob Welby (Co-Owner)

The Old Guy.

Long time marathon runner.  You’ll find Bob hanging around a race of some kind almost every weekend.  He’s passionate about the sport and those that participate in it.  Bob has run more Boston Marathon’s than he can count but he also has no problem jumping into a local 5k and running with the best of them.
