Coach Gunn was an outstanding collegiate Cross-Country coach who trained 136 All Americans and eight NJCAA national championship teams.
His adult training includes 100's who successfully ran their first marathon (Honolulu) or to day-hike a marathon distance at unique locations worldwide such as Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Spain, Italy, New Zealand. and to Scotland, the homeland of the Gunn clan.
His passion is coaching adults to greater fitness levels and reward them with unique hiking adventures.
His motto: "Showing really cool people the world!"
Coaches, Hal Higdon and Ron Gunn developed a successful progressive overload marathon training program. Hal went international and Ron stayed local forming a running club for those who took his running classes at SMC. For decades the group traveled to run races or to see the world. Club members bonded such that after more than 45 years the MNRC (Monday Night Running Club) still meets to walk in fellowship, to stay fit and will welcome new members. [Questions about MNRC contact Thom@CairnStoneTours. com]
In 2007 Cairn Stone Adventure Tours, llc was formed after Coach Gunn retired. His hiking adventures are unforgettable and the 8 months of preparatory training has a way of bonding participants in brotherhood and sisterhood.
