Bobbi overcomes obstacles, challenges prejudice, and makes a difference with tenacity, perseverance and love.
Bobbi Gibb
In 1966, Roberta "Bobbi" Gibb became the first woman ever to complete the Boston Marathon. She is recognized by the Boston Athletic Association as the pre-sanctioned era women’s winner in 1966, 1967, and 1968. Bobbi is an exciting contemporary artist who creates bronze sculptures of the human form in action and portrait busts; vividly colored murals; and subtle, impressionistic landscapes, which reflect her deep love of both humanity and nature. Bobbi has also worked as a lawyer and as an associate at the Cecil B. Day Neuromuscular Laboratory.
