Steve Burgess Memorial Run
The GPRC Wolves X-Country running team is pleased to host the 2018 Steve Burgess Memorial cross-country running race. The race honours the memory of Steve Burgess, a true friend of the local running and cross-country skiing communities, who passed away in 2001.
We are proud to be a part of the 2018 New Balance XC series and to be Race #3 in the 2018 ACAC X-C Grand Prix Series.
New for 2018: This year, we will be running in Muskoseepi Park on the same course that will be used for the 2019 CCAA National XC Championships.
