CASTLE ALPINE TRAIL RACE
2025-09-13 06:30 - 18:30 | Castle Mountain Resort, AB, T0K1W0, Canada
Prepare yourself for an endurance race like no other with the Castle Alpine Trail Race hosted by Sinister Sports, and taking place right here at Castle Mountain Resort.
Castle Alpine Trail Race (let’s call it CAT, OK?) combines wide open vistas, rugged single track, off-trail running, and so much delicious climbing. While it isn’t an extraordinarily long race distance-wise, CAT is like a schoolyard bully – it’s going to rough you up and doesn’t relent the whole day.
This is a classic trail run covering two mountain summits and one of the most serene alpine valleys in the region. Each stage starts and ends at Castle Mountain Resort, so you don’t even really need a support crew – just park your kit in the staging area and do some quick transitions. Leg 1 runs clockwise, Leg 2 counterclockwise, and Leg 3 clockwise.
Race details are as follows:

Friday, September 12, 2025

5:00 PM – 8:00 PM – Racer Check-in

DRIFTER DAYS
2025-09-20 08:00 - 16:00, 2025-09-27 08:00 - 16:00 | Castle Mountain Resort, Box 610, Pincher Creek, Alberta, T0K 1W0, Canada
Drifter Days are back – the annual, volunteer brush clearing / thinning days on the Drifter run.
Volunteers should meet at the Castle Mountain Resort maintenance shop at 8:00 AM. There will be a brief safety meeting before we leave for the top of the mountain. If you can’t be on time be 5 minutes early.
THE PLAN:

The mission for Drifter Days is to clear out deadfall on the slopes. Your knees & legs (and friends) will thank you for removing the dangers that hide below snow on these slopes.
Split into work groups based on the number of people that show up.
1 – 2 helpers per person with a saw. If you don’t have a chainsaw, we still need your muscles for removing / piling debris, carrying jerry cans, etc.
Alternative Help – if you don’t want or are unable to work on the slope or don’t have much time, we could use help with the following:

Truck to transport equipment and volunteers
Driving the crew to the top of the mountain in the morning
Picking up the crew from Cinch Traverse at the end of the day
Monitoring the radio during the day

WHAT TO BRING:

lunch and lots of water
work gloves
hat
protective glasses
ear protection, if you have some, we’ll round up some ear plugs as well
good solid footwear – work boots, hiking boots, etc. We will be working in rough terrain and on steep slopes
suitable clothes for rough work – no shorts
Chain saw if you have one

It always works out better if you operate your own saw, please make sure it is sharpened and bring the correct file to sharpen the chain, the wrench and screwdriver for the saw
Only bring enough gas and oil for the day, no extra.

Required – protective chainsaw pants for those running equipment
Radio – if you have access to a radio with a hill channel please bring it.

Bring a friend and pass the word along that we can use all the help we can get.
Feel free to let Dennis Miller know if you can attend or if you have any questions you can email him at d516miller@gmail.com.
