The well-known distance runner set a new record for Service Clubs, competing for the Rotary Club of Tortola during the College Classic Series.

He is now looking forward to the 5K series that starts next month.

Stoby said his plans for 2020 are to train hard, but smart, and to enjoy every moment of being able to run.

“I want to be able to do this while proudly representing Nagico Insurances and continuing to inspire young and old to take up running, even if it’s just for health reasons,” Stoby said. He added that many persons have told him that they are inspired by his accomplishments in road racing and some have even started running.
