When it comes to the Hilo Triathlon, Bob Wedeman acts as the spokesman for his brother and race director Joe Wedemann, who never has enough time in the day, running here and there on endless errands.
It’s the same deal with the Big Island International Marathon, which will mark its 20th anniversary in March 2017, as Bob is the busy race director, and Joe is the assistant/gofer/PR maven.
The BIIM or Hilo marathon is best known for bringing in runners from all over the world. But for the local running community, everyone knows about the Final Four (David Hammes, DJ Blinn, Marie Kuramoto and Cowman), who have completed all 19 editions.
