Castle Alpine Trail Race

The Castle Alpine Trail Race is a challenging 28-kilometer trail running event held at Castle Mountain Resort in Alberta, Canada. Set in the scenic Rocky Mountains, the race features rugged single-track trails, off-trail sections, and significant elevation gain as runners summit two mountains and traverse a serene alpine valley. The course consists of three stages starting and ending at the resort, allowing for easy transitions and minimal need for support crews.

Known for its tough terrain and variable September weather—including possible snow and strong winds—the race offers a true mountain running experience. Post-race festivities include live music and social activities, with various accommodations available nearby for a full weekend getaway.
