The crew got those legs moving tonight, locking in their runs just before the skies opened up! We are four days into the 2026 June Elevation Challenge, and the competition is already blazing. 🔥💪🏼

​Curtis is coming out swinging in the top spot with a massive 3,700 meters—3,000 of which he crushed in a single session of 7.5 Abby Grinds! Absolute machine. Trevor is hot on his heels; if he’s training for the Van100, expect his vert to skyrocket any second. And of course, Aleta is right up there at the peak, poised and ready to strike.

​This is just the beginning, and our first weekend is here to really stack up those meters. Who’s ready to brave the elements and conquer the climb? 🏔️

It's not too late to join, become a member and join the fun.

Happy Global Running Day! 🌍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We are incredibly thankful for this gritty, amazing community of runners. Regardless of ability, the way you all show up for each other with such kindness and generosity is what makes this group so special. The inspiration is off the charts, and the trail-side connections that happen every single week are nothing short of magic. Thank you to everyone who makes this community the powerhouse it is today!

Now, onto the fun stuff—served with a hearty side of crazy. 🤪 This month is officially Elevation Month! It’s time for us to battle it out as a crew and see who can bag the most vertical gain. Whether you're quietly aiming for a personal record or openly gunning for a spot in the top 10, we salute you. 🏔️

Speaking of which, make sure you pack those climbing legs this Thursday! We’re hitting up Sumas while the weather is playing nice. Meet us at the lower parking lot for a 7-ish km grind up to the Time Killer Lookout.

Drop a 👍🏼 in the comments below if you're joining the sufferfest, and don't forget to stash some snacks and refreshments for the parking lot social afterward.

See you out there!

June elevation challenge has started! We had a surprising amount of athletes show up for the first of many stuffer-sessions at the Auguston stairs. There was singing, trash-talking, and a few discussions about ‘what’s the point of it all?’. We have 28 more days to find the answer…
Thanks for coming out! See you on the hills.

Hey crew, it’s June! That means the ATRC June elevation challenge is active and every trail runner in Abbotsford is out climbing hills every day, all day. Why? Don’t know... It’s just a thing we do. There’s no logical explanation. The point is, every club run for June will have some climbing involved. For this Trails Tuesday we’ll be doing some stair climbing at the Auguston stairs that lead to Clayburn Creek trail. There are 357 stairs with approximately 60 metres of elevation per flight. You can go at your own pace, take as many breaks as you like and quit at any time. Come challenge yourself!

We’ll meet at the end of Tom Thomson Ct at 7pm. Give us a 👍 in the comments if you’re coming.

Trail Run for Water 2026

It was beyond amazing to see the crew out in full force today, representing on our beloved Sumas Mountain! Whether you were out there crushing the trails or bringing the hype as an incredible volunteer, the energy was off the charts.

​A massive THANK YOU to every single person who showed up, cheered loud, and made this happen. We couldn't do this local classic without you!

As elite athletes we’ve tackled marathons and ultra’s, but tonight we conqered the most gruelling, anxiety-inducing challenge of them all: the dreaded Beep Test! Although there was some apprehension at the start, we all had a blast. And now we’ve each set a personal benchmark to beat the next time we do it… Likely in the fall. Thanks for coming out and having a laugh!

Join us at Garrison Running Co. on June 3 at 6:30 pm for an exclusive Q&A with incredible ultrarunner and Abbotsford Trail Running Club member, Marina Striker!

We will be diving into her recent mind-boggling achievement at the Cocodona 250 ultramarathon in Arizona, where she conquered a grueling 250 miles—the equivalent of nine-and-a-half marathons—in just 92 hours and 37 minutes.

Finishing as the 15th-fastest woman overall and 3rd in her age group, Marina (who is also a race director for the Fat Dog 120) will share how she overcame intense desert heat, sleep deprivation, and the ultimate mental battle to crush her goals.

Don't miss this chance to grab some inspiration, hear epic trail stories, and learn firsthand what it takes to cultivate an unbreakable mindset!
