Who was SueB?
A vivacious, intelligent woman who is missed dearly every day. February 9, 1955 – April 4, 2008
Susan Elaine Brubaker Newby died in 2008 during a mysterious horseback riding incident. After her death, family, and friends realized that SueB – her nickname – was likely in an abusive marriage. SueB’s sister, Marj, and friends, Leslie and Teresa turned to the WCA as a way to honor SueB’s life and increase awareness about domestic violence. Their hope: “to help other successful, smart, beautiful women like SueB leave these relationships before it’s too late.”
About The Race:
Continuing to honor the memory of Susan “Sue B” Newby, The 17th Annual SueB 5K kicks off on Sunday, October 4th at 12 pm at Julia Davis Park in Downtown Boise, ID. Each participant will receive a free t-shirt*.
In addition to the race, there will be a community resource fair starting at 10:30 am that is open to the public. This is an opportunity to discover and learn about the fantastic resources that our community has to offer. Raising awareness and encouraging important discussions about domestic abuse has always been a passion of Sue’s family and friends.
Race fees support our Endowment Fund to ensure the WCA can maintain our services and serve our clients for many years to come. The object of this Endowment is to provide funds in perpetuity for the operation of all of the WCA’s programs to provide safety, healing, and freedom from domestic abuse and sexual assault.
In the heartfelt words of Sue’s sister Marj Sente: "Don’t wait until your sister, daughter or mother is a victim of domestic abuse or sexual assault, step forward now and make an investment in the WCA to raise awareness about domestic violence."
This is a great opportunity to celebrate positive relationships with your family, friends, and coworkers. Will you join us?
About The Course:
The 2026 SueB 5K course starts in Julia Davis park on the pathway between the Rose Garden and Boise Art Museum. Participants will venture onto the Boise River Greenbelt and travel east, staying on the north side of the Greenbelt. There will be an aid station with water at the halfway point (near Kristen Armstrong Park). Runners and walkers will then turn and head back towards Julia Davis park, finishing where they started!
