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!

Registration for the 2026 Pick & Shovel Showdown opens October 17th at 6pm.

Come join us on January 24th for this one of a kind 8hr format. All the details can be found on our website or the Race Roster page linked in our Bio.

Run as much or as little as you like at your own pace. There will be chili, soups, quesadillas, and lots more food to keep people going.

We’re also offering up an additional $500 to the first female or male to break their divisional course record. We had some people come up close last year, let’s make it happen!

Don’t miss out, spots are limited and this one has always sold out.

Registration for the 2025 Macintosh 10K closes tomorrow, Oct 16th at noon.

We’d love to have you join us for a fun morning on the McIntosh Run Singletrack Trail system.

This race is suitable for all levels of ability. There will be tons of prizes and giveaways, snacks, Athletic Brewing beverages, and good times.

There’s a link to registration in our bio and on our website.

Hi everyone, we have made the unfortunate call to cancel the 2025 Sissiboo Sizzler. The access restrictions to wooded areas look like they are here to stay for a while.

We will be sending all participants an email in the next couple of days with refund information.

Thanks to everyone for your understanding, let’s all hope we get some significant rain soon.

Peter & Jason
