This year we have begun attempting a new race video project featuring hot mics, shaky cameras, and silly commentary. Watch here OR DON’T. We will be posting the OUA video in the coming days. We will also be out in Halifax to cover Usports and Ottawa to cover ACXC. That is all (for now)....

Not Trackie 2022 U SPORTS Post-Thanksgiving Bash Predictions
Intro So yeah so… a while back, Canadian Running Magazine posted some Usports men’s and women’s pre-season rankings that were lacking a bit of info from key sources.

ACXC HOT TAKES
Intro Haha that’s right, ACXC decided to absolutely bungle this one (per sources). Usports XC might have featured a starting “Danger Gauntlet,” (and I witnessed not one, but two fellow runners absolutely eat it in the Danger Gauntlet, I hope they survived) but ACXC has decided to one up them by blasting the course...

Not Trackie Usports XC Fun Zone: Part 2
