Nature Park Hosts 14th Annual Brent Kelly Run

On April 21st, the Irving Nature Park is proud to host the 14th annual Brent Kelly Memorial Five-Miler. Brent, who passed away at the age of 12 of a rare heart condition, loved the outdoors and hiking at the Irving Nature Park, making it the perfect venue for the run. 

With up to 300 participants in past years, and over 3,000 total runners over the years, the Brent Kelly Memorial Fund has donated over $20,000 to various organizations in the Saint John area. 

"The Kelly family considers this day a special day to remember Brent, it is always overwhelming for us to see the support from his childhood friends and the running and walking communities," says Marta Kelly, Brent's Aunt.
