KRRA

In memory of Tony Bourne

KRRA director, PJ Marshall, and the Kingston Road Runners are pleased to announce the installation of the Tony Bourne Memorial bench. The effort was spearheaded by PJ Marshall on behalf of the KRRA initiated the project in the spring of 2021.

Tony Bourne was an avid runner and dedicated volunteer who passed away on July 17, 2017, and is dearly missed by family and friends. Because of this, the decision was made to plant the tree and install the bench, in Tony’s memory. Funded by the family and organized by the KRRA, the bench is located on the waterfront path near the park run at Breakwater Park – close to where Tony volunteered for KRRA events and Kingston triathlons. The tree was planted just north of Maitland Street, near the Yacht Club.

So when you need a rest in Breakwater Park, look for Tony’s bench to take a break, and think of Tony.

Thanks again, PJ for helping to make this happen.
