Bob Varsha…Something Different
From Gregg Leary
Category:Formula One
I’d like to hear Bob talk about another kind of racing…Running…Bob was a Cross Country and Track star at Dartmouth…ran marathons and was the first paid director of the most famous 10k road race in the world…The Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta that fields over 55,000 runners and 150,000 spectators
Bob placed sixth in the US Olympic Marathon trials in 1976 with a superb time of 2:15:50
In 1980 Turner Broadcasting hired Bob to cover the Peachtree Road race…then more news and sports for TBS
Bob also “starred” in the 1985 Movie “Invasion USA”
