A New Benchmark on the BROT
Yesterday, Ed Cacciapaglia’s friends and fellow club members installed a second bench in his memory. The bench is along Bull Run on the Bull Run Occoquan Trail near Hemlock Overlook. Ten club members — Dan Aghdam, Tom Corris, Quatro Hubbard, Russ Evans, Bob Gaylord, Gary Knipling, Tom McNulty, Cathy Roberts, Bruce Tweedie, and Dave Yeakel — assisted two NOVA Parks employees.

The supplies were brought up from Bull Run Marina via pontoon boat, then a Jon boat, then by foot to a perfect spot overlooking the water. It promises to be surrounded by blue bells.
The location also marks a new benchmark for runners doing Bull Run Run or MGM, as it is exactly one mile from the finish of those events.
