A bench in memory of CRR Bruce Hubbard was recently installed along Creek Road. Runners, walkers, and bikers were likely to encounter him on Creek Road during his lifetime. And if you saw him, you were likely to chat, since he was always happy to do so. Bruce completed 30 marathons and countless other races. He passed away on February 1, 2026, a few days short of his 80th birthday. 

The bench is near the crest of a small hill, about 1/4-mile north of the vehicle-barrier posts on Creek Road, which are just north of the Pomeroy Trail footbridge across the creek. It faces the sunrise, with a beautiful view across the creek. It is a wonderful tribute to this Newark resident and lifetime Creek Road Runner.

Special thanks to CRR Bill Rose for this post and for the photo of the bench.
