SEPTEMBER TRAILS JUST HIT DIFFERENT. 🍂⛰️

Cooler mornings.
That little bit of crispness in the air.
Maybe the first hint of colour in the trees.

And suddenly throwing on a layer and heading outside sounds like a VERY good idea. 😏

September might just be one of our favourite months to adventure around here.

The trails are quieter.
The temperatures are perfect.
The bugs are finally starting to lose the battle. 😂
And there’s still SO much season left.

So whether your weekend looks like a long trail run, a hike with friends, a slow wander with coffee, camping, biking, or just getting outside for an hour…

Go find a little adventure.

It doesn’t have to be big.
It doesn’t have to be fast.
It doesn’t have to end up on Strava.

It just has to get you outside. 🧡

👇 WHAT ARE YOU GETTING UP TO THIS WEEKEND?

Tell us where you’re headed, we’re always looking for ideas too!

GET OUTSIDE WITH US. 🧡

🍂 FEATURE FRIDAY: THE “IT’S NOT QUITE FALL… BUT IT’S DEFINITELY NOT SUMMER” EDITION

September trail season is here. 🙌

You know the one.

You leave the house and it’s freezing.
Twenty minutes later you’re sweating.
You hit the shade and suddenly regret every clothing decision you’ve ever made. 😂

This is where the right layers earn their keep.

Think:

🥶 A lightweight layer for chilly starts
💨 A wind-resistant shell for exposed ridges
🧦 Good socks because cold, damp feet are NO fun
🧢 A toque or buff that disappears into your pack when you warm up
💧 Hydration because cooler weather does NOT mean you stop sweating
🎒 And a pack with enough room to stash all the things you inevitably peel off

Honestly, this might be our favourite time of year to hit the trails.

Cooler air.
Changing colours. 🍂
Fewer bugs.
And just enough unpredictability to keep things interesting. 😏

If your fall adventure kit has a few holes in it, come see us at Trekkers Outdoor. We’ll help you get sorted for whatever September decides to throw at us.

👇 What’s the ONE piece of gear you never leave behind on a fall adventure?

REAL TALK THURSDAY 🥾

You don’t have to be training for something.

You don’t need a race on the calendar.
You don’t need a huge summit.
You don’t need to go farther, faster, or harder than you did last time.

Sometimes you can just… go outside.

Walk the trail.
Take the dog.
Meet a friend.
Stop for coffee.
Turn around whenever you feel like it.
Sit somewhere beautiful for way too long.

We love big goals around here, but we also love the reminder that the outdoors doesn’t always have to be something we accomplish.

It can simply be somewhere we go because we feel better when we’re there. 🧡

So tell us:

🥾 Are you a GOAL PERSON, you love having something to train for?

🌲 Or a JUST GET ME OUTSIDE PERSON, no watch, no plan, let’s wander?

Or are you a little bit of both? 😄

🧡 WEDNESDAY COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: ASHLEY

Some people find running.

And sometimes, running gives them a whole lot more in return. 🧡

Ashley started running in college, where miles turned into lifelong friendships. Years later, life looks a little different. Those teammates are now busy moms with families, schedules and plenty competing for their time, but running is still something that brings them back together.

For Ashley, those early morning trail miles are more than training.

They clear her mind.
Give her energy.
Connect her with friends.
And remind her just how good it feels to get outside and move.

And this year brought a couple pretty incredible milestones. 🙌

🏅 In May, Ashley completed her first road marathon at the Calgary Marathon.

⛰️ Then in August, she took that challenge to the mountains and completed her first mountain marathon, the Near Death Marathon at the Canadian Death Race.

Two very different finish lines. Two huge accomplishments.

But ask Ashley what running has really given her, and the answer goes far beyond medals.

It’s community.
Friendship.
Adventure.
A healthy lifestyle.
And something she hopes her four kids grow up seeing as simply part of life.

There may not be another race on the calendar just yet…

But Ashley admits she’s “always scheming ways to spend more time on the trails with friends.” 😏⛰️

And around here, we think that’s a pretty great thing to be scheming.

Congratulations on an incredible year, Ashley. We can’t wait to see where those trail miles take you next. 🧡

🍂 TIPSY TUESDAY: FALL IS SNEAKING IN 🏃‍♀️🥾

September has entered the chat… and the trails are starting to change. 👀

Cooler mornings.
Earlier sunsets.
Wet leaves.
Muddy sections.
And that jacket you were absolutely sure you didn’t need. 😆

A few reminders as we head into fall adventure season:

🍂 Watch your footing. Wet leaves, roots and wooden bridges can be ridiculously slippery.

🔦 Bring the headlamp. Even if you think you’ll be back before dark. Future-you will appreciate it.

🧥 Pack a layer. Mountain weather doesn’t care what the forecast said when you left the house.

💧 Keep drinking. Cooler temperatures can make it easy to forget about hydration.

🐻 Stay wildlife aware. Bear spray still belongs somewhere you can actually reach it, not buried at the bottom of your pack.

And maybe the most important fall trail rule…

☕ Plan your post-adventure coffee accordingly.

The days might be getting shorter, but there’s still a whole lot of trail season left. 🧡⛰️

What’s your favourite season to hit the trails, spring, summer, fall or winter?

MONDAY CHECK-IN 🧡⛰️

Somehow… it’s the last day of August.

But around here, we’re definitely not packing away the trail shoes yet. 😉

September brings cooler mornings, changing colours, quieter trails and some of the BEST days to get outside.

So before we roll into a brand-new month, we want to know:

What are you carrying into September?

🥾 A trail you still want to explore
🏃 A race or goal you’re working toward
⛰️ More time outside
☕ More slow mornings
🧡 More adventures with good people
😴 Or maybe… a little recovery after a very busy summer

There’s no rule saying every month has to be about doing MORE.

Sometimes the goal is simply to keep showing up for the things that make you feel good.

Here’s to one more day of August, and whatever September has waiting for us. 🧡

👇 What’s one thing you want MORE of this September?

SUNDAY TRAIL THOUGHTS 🧡⛰️

Not every great week needs a finish line.

Sometimes the best parts are smaller than that.

The coffee before an early start. ☕
The view that made you stop mid-run.
The friend who matched your pace.
The trail you almost didn’t go out on.
The laugh that happened when everything started going sideways. 😂
Or simply getting outside when you really needed it.

We spend a lot of time chasing the next distance, the next race, the next adventure…

But some of the best memories happen somewhere in between.

So before we head into another week, take a second and think about this one:

🧡 What was one GOOD moment from your week?

Big, small, trail-related or not, tell us below.

Happy Sunday, Trekkers.

Here’s to noticing the good stuff along the way. ⛰️

👀 OKAY… HERE’S ANOTHER CLUE.

We’ve been telling you that something BIG is coming.

And we’ve been making you wait. 😏

So we’ll give you a little more…

🏔️ It involves adventure.
🏃 It involves a start line.
📅 And you might want to start thinking about what you’d love to accomplish in 2027.

That’s all you’re getting today. 😂

But trust us…

YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE
MIGHT BE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.

More clues coming soon. 👀🧡

SATURDAY ADVENTURE CHECK-IN 🏔️☀️

Some adventures have finish lines.

Some have aid stations, bib numbers and months of training.

And some start with:

“Want to go outside?” 😄

You don’t need a race on the calendar to make today count.

🥾 Take the trail you keep meaning to explore.
🏃 Head out for an easy run with no pace goal.
🚲 Grab the bike.
☕ Walk somewhere with coffee in hand.
🐕 Take the dog and see where you end up.
🌲 Or just find a quiet spot outside and stay awhile.

Summer might be winding down, but adventure season definitely isn’t.

Around here, fall trails might just be some of the best trails. 🍂👀

So tell us…

WHAT’S YOUR SATURDAY ADVENTURE?

Big. Small. Fast. Slow. Planned. Completely made up as you go.

We want to hear it. 👇🧡
