Ellison Brown Statue Unveiled
from Providence News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A bronze statue of Ellison Brown, two-time Boston Marathon champ and Narragansett Tribe legend, has been unveiled wearing his iconic “Westerly, R.I.” shirt—just like when he won in ’39. Sculpted by local artist Serena Bates and backed by the Tarzan Brown Memorial Fund, the statue stands proudly outside Westerly Train Station, honored at a packed dedication with family, tribe members, and fellow marathon greats. The Boston Marathon celebrated him online, calling him a legend—and for good reason: he helped name Heartbreak Hill, competed in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and left an indelible mark on running history.
