WHITESTOWN - Harts Hill Inn was jumping Thursday night, all to honor a man who has become synonymous with the Boilermaker Road Race.

Hundreds of people lined up to congratulate Bob Ingalls on his retirement from the Boilermaker Road Race.

Bob spent the last seven years as race director for the largest 15k in the country and Thursday was the communities chance to say thanks.

Bob helped take the race to the next level and now he's moving on.

He’s also taking a walk – not a run – down the aisle this weekend as he gets married to his fiancé Judy Marris, who happens to be a go the distance graduate.
