Coach Gunn was a collegiate track coach who trained 136 All Americans and eight NJCAA national championship teams, 

and has coached several hundred chronologically enhanced adults to succeed with completing a  marathon or a marathon-like hike.  Many were graduates of his early Marathon running classes at SMC.  

After more than 40 years the  MNRC 

still meets on Monday to run or walk 

in fellowship and to stay fit and always welcome new members.

His passion now is coaching adults to achieve an extraordinary level of fitness  

and to guide them to experience incredible remote areas around the world.
