Yesterday at 6 PM, the crew met up at The Keg and decided to tackle Red Mountain—because who doesn’t love a good climb? ⛰️

We had an incredible turnout, including a bunch of awesome new faces! Huge welcome to Emma, Garret, Stephanie, Josh, Wes, Linda, Katie and Garth (hope we spelled that right! 😜)—you all brought the best attitude!

We cruised through the Intemann Trail, regrouping along the way before hitting the trailhead for that steep, heart-pumping ascent.

After plenty of huffing and puffing, we conquered the summit! The views were absolutely worth it. and you know we had to hit that plank until the last runner arrives!🏔️

✨After soaking it all in and snapping some photos, we flew down the steep, slippery descent, navigated the Intemann together, and wrapped things up perfectly with drinks, food, and endless stories at 🍻🍔

Thank you to everyone who showed up and brought the energy! See you next Wednesday at 6 PM! 🏃‍♂️💨

🔊BIG SHOUT TO STEPHEN HOLMES!!!
💥BIGFOOT 200 BOUND 🏔️🔥👣

This Friday, our friend and Manitou Run Club buddy Stephen Holmes will be stepping onto the start line of one of the toughest ultramarathons on the planet: the Bigfoot 200.

And if you’ve ever run with Stephen, you know he’s the perfect person for the challenge.

Kind. Humble. Positive. Always smiling. Always encouraging others. The guy behind many of our favorite photos and videos. The first to celebrate someone else’s accomplishment and the last person to ask for recognition himself.

But make no mistake—he has earned this!

For months, Stephen has been quietly putting in the work. Early mornings. Long runs… MASSIVE! Back-to-back training days. Countless miles. Countless climbs. The kind of consistency and dedication that most people never see. 💪

Now it’s time. ⏰

⛰️ BIGFOOT 200
📍 Washington Cascades
📏 ~206-208 miles
📈 Over 45,000 feet of climbing
📉 Nearly 47,000 feet of descent
⏱️ Up to 105+ hours to finish
🌋 Volcanic terrain, remote wilderness, ridgelines, forests, river crossings, sleep deprivation, and every emotion imaginable. The course travels through the wild country around Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, and Mount Rainier.

This isn’t just a race.

It’s a journey measured in sunrises, sunsets, determination, resilience, and heart.

Stephen, your Manitou Run Club family is incredibly proud of you! Thank you for the miles, the laughs, the photos, the friendship, and the inspiration you bring to this community.

Let’s send him off with some love and encouragement! 👇

Drop a comment and wish Stephen good luck as he takes on one of the biggest adventures in ultrarunning.

GO GET IT, STEPHEN! 🔥🏔️💙

🔥Iron Mountain, you definitely tested our legs last night! ⛰️

We kicked off the evening suffering through that brutal first ascent up Pawnee Road just to reach the trailhead. 🥵 But a mandatory group plank session got everyone refocused, locked in, and ready to climb! 🧘‍♂️💪

After conquering the summit, the real fun began. We flew down the technical descents of Slaughterhouse Canyon all the way to the Manitou Cemetery 🌲🏃💨, before hitting our favorite stretch on the Intemann Trail back to the hub.

🗺️✨A massive shoutout to all the newbies who crushed it out there! Laura, Andrea, Hollie, Ashlee, Anna, Nikki, Kelly, Dane and Matt! 🥳🙌

There is nothing better than wrapping up a tough run with great stories, food, and cold drinks with the Manitou Run Club crew. 🍻🍔🍕

Thanks for keeping the smiles big and showing up for the best run club in town! 👟❤️

See you all next week! 🤙🏼🤩
