WHO WE ARE
PROSPERITY
Since we began our races in 2024 we have raised over $20,000 for the following organizations:
Halifax Search & Rescue
Cole Harbour Parks & Trail Association
Friends of Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes
Friends of McNabs
These funds come from the entry fees and team fundraising for each race.
VISIBILITY
Our races showcase what we feel are amazing green spaces within our urban environments. Many of these areas are under development threat, or require volunteers to help with trail maintenance. Sign up for your local associations and let your local government leaders know that these spaces are important for a healthy city.
CONNECTION
Urban Trail Racing was founded to bring runners from the streets onto the trails. From running technical single track, to ATV trails, to rolling gravel paths. It is a different experience than road running and we want more people to try it. Our races are built to be an inclusive celebration. From the technical grace of our podium winners, to our middle of the pack gang, and all of our first time trail racers. So far it seems to be working: Over 30% of our participants in 2025 were new to Trail Racing (either from road or never did a race before), over 60% of our participants are women, and our course records continue to be beaten.
