Saturday, November 26th marked the 38th annual Gunner Shaw Classic trail race at Thetis Lake. This is a tough hilly race that throw everything at runners - rocks, roots, puddles, branches, boulders, six significant hills and stunning views. Nearly 200 runners were up for the challenge.
Two STARR runners participated. This race seems to be one of Marika's favourites so here is what she had to say about this highly recommended event.
"It was a pretty nice day with break in the weather for the race. The course wasn't very wet compared to past years. Puddle #1 wasn't very long but WAS very stinky. Puddle #2 wasn't very big either but very muddy. They had gilled cheese for after race snacks so that was nice."
STARR results

Congratulations to our runners.
