The DMSE Sports team is deeply saddened by the passing of Susan Hurley.
Susan was more than a colleague within the running community, she was our FAMILY. Through her tireless dedication and passion with , she inspired and supported thousands of athletes, charities, and community members. Her leadership, generosity, and joy created connections that changed lives and strengthened our entire community.
Susan’s impact reached far beyond running. She was instrumental in making the new Gronk Playground on the Esplanade a reality, a project she helped conceive years earlier and saw through alongside the Gronk Nation Youth Foundation. At the August 19, 2025, opening, Rob Gronkowski publicly credited Susan for her vision and commitment, dedicating one of the playground’s elm trees in her honor, a living tribute to her spirit and the joy she brought to so many.
Our love and support go out to our colleagues Dave, Ryan, Courtney, and Ryan’s brother Max during this difficult time.
Susan’s warmth, energy, and unwavering commitment to helping others will never be forgotten. Her legacy will continue to run strong in the hearts of all who knew her.
