All Out Trail Racing

Hey folks! We’re thinking about adding a 25km distance to the McIntosh course. Would you race it on October 24th.

We would run out to Norawarren and back trying to use as much of the trail system as possible. We’ll have an aid station at the furthest point. If people like the course we might look to increase the distance and change the timing next year.

Let us know what you think! Save the date, we’re planning to launch registration soon.

Thanks to everyone that joined us Friday evening for the Seaside Scramble. It was great to see so many new and familiar faces.

We had nearly perfect racing conditions. A little less wind would have been nice but it did keep the flies away!

A HUGE thanks to all the volunteers for their help and our sponsors for providing such great prizing.

Links to the results and photos are available on our website. We encourage everyone to share their photos of the event.

🎉 New Course Record 🎉

Massive congratulations to Joe Stewart who put on a amazing performance at yesterday’s Pick & Shovel Showdown. Running 15 laps (88.4KM) in 7:58:13 seconds, all while it was -16°c out 👏 👏

When Jason and I saw the weather we thought the record was safe but Joe had other plans. Joe will receive a $500 gift card to and we could not be happy to hand it over. What a show 👏

Thanks to our great partners we are able to offer some great prizing for the 2026 Pick & Shovel Showdown.

We’d like to thank everyone listed above for their ongoing support.

There are trail running vests, merino vests, shoes, back packs, socks, and mugs just to name a few things up for grabs. Best part is, you don’t have to win to take home something really nice!

We can’t forget to mention $500 for a new course record. Some people came pretty close last year, let’s go!
