Gunner Shaw Memorial Cross Country Race

DECEMBER
JERICHO BEACH, VANCOUVER, BC

History of the Gunner Shaw

Named in Memory of “Gunner” Shaw, a well-known and respected BC runner who passed away in 1984 at the age of 39 due to a car accident, the annual cross country race has been a staple on the provincial cross country calendar for years. We look forward to keeping the proud tradition of this traditional-style cross country meet alive for many years to come.
