Hank Armstrong has been involved with the Big Sur International Marathon since 1986, when his wife, Julie, enlisted him to drive the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s collecting truck as the press truck for the inaugural race – a role he held for nearly 30 years. His dedication to the event led him to the Big Sur Marathon Foundation’s governance board at its inception in 2015, where he has since served as secretary and vice chair on the executive committee.
Hank currently chairs the Community Fitness Committee, helping to inspire a healthy community and the next generation of runners, and is a past chair of the Board Development Committee.
He retired as Vice President of Communications from the Monterey Bay Aquarium after a 34-year career that began before the Aquarium even opened.
