Castle Alpine Trail Race

Pincher Creek No. 9, Canada • 19 Sep 2026

Castle Alpine Trail Race

The Castle Alpine Trail Race (CAT) is a trail running event at Castle Mountain Resort in Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada. The event offers two formats over a 28 km distance: a solo race and a team relay.

The course is described as a classic mountain trail run. It covers two mountain summits and one alpine valley. It combines wide-open vistas, rugged single-track, and off-trail running. Each relay stage starts and ends at Castle Mountain Resort, allowing for quick transitions without the need for a support crew.

Post-race activities at the resort are planned, including live music. The area is known for wildlife viewing. The event takes place in September, when weather conditions can vary, with a chance of snow and cold winds at higher elevations.

Registration fees apply, with pricing varying by registration period (early bird, regular, and last-minute). A racer meeting is held the evening before, and a dinner is scheduled after the race finishes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
