The 23rd Annual Harriers Gunner Shaw Memorial Cross Country Classic is being run tomorrow Saturday, November 24, 2007 and it starts at 1:00 p.m. SHARP!

Bob Reid (Gunner Shaw Race Director) had this to say about his race this year….

“This Saturday, Gunner Shaw could be the biggest XC race in Canadaian history.

Maybe 500 on the line. Be there to experience it.

I am delighted to report that Harriers race favourites Jim Finlayson and Lucy Smith will be in the field and running their first ever Gunner in 23 years since the event was introduced in 1985. Welcome Jim and welcome Lucy; enjoy the experience! I know you will excel.”

But with the closure of some of the trails around Thetis Lake Mr. Reid also had this to say;

“The 2007 Gunner Shaw course is a race for sissies. There is not only a lack of puddles and mud, but I had to re-route the finish using Trillium Trail rather than the rock stairs. The result is that you are only running a little over 9K this year. Next year Gunner will be a certified BCA sanctioned event. I have measured the 2008 course with a wheel and added 800 metres to the old course so it is precisely 10K now.”

Be prepared for a great race tomorrow and for an epic race in 2008!
