A LITTLE HISTORY
A LITTLE HISTORY
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.

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.
