Ken Owen Award

The Ken Owen Award is presented annually to the Team ORCA member voted “most inspirational” by their teammates.

The award was created by Mike Bourcier and Michele Levesque to commemorate Ken Owen (pictured to the right), a long-time member of Team ORCA who passed away in 2005. Ken was a great friend to Team ORCA, and loved running, triathlons, and the camaraderie of his running friends.

The recipient of this award is chosen for his or her “INSPIRATION” to other members of ORCA. The criteria for the award is that it is to be given to the person who, through his/her dedication, tenacity, comeback, etc. has been an inspiration to us all.

Congratulations to Faye Amos. A very deserving recipient of the 2024 ORCA Ken Owen Award.

Our 2023 Ken Owen Award was presented to Doug Brown and re-acknowledged at our 2024 Christmas Party. A big thank you to Doug for his ongoing dedication to Learn to Run and for directing the ORCA Mother’s Day Run.
