Rick Bown was a long- time runner and our friend.He passed away October 2009, during the Detriot Half-Marathon, doing what he loved, running. Rick was a coach and advisor to many runners in the area, and it was not unusual to see him helping another runner through a race.
Rick was also one of the first race directors in the area to introduce a race-walk category to his event, some 32 years ago. The River City Runners & Walkers Club, where Rick served on the Board of Directors, has chosen to remember him with a race in his memory.
