Together, we make the outdoors more accessible, connected, and meaningful

blue diamond pizza + catering

We’re proud to partner with Blue Diamond Pizza + Catering, a local, community-driven food crew founded by fellow trail runner and food lover, Josh Casey.

Food has always been part of our roots. Long before finish lines and campfires, food was how we gathered, how we recovered, and how we connected after time spent moving through the wild. It’s not just fuel, it’s ritual, comfort, and celebration. Partnering with Blue Diamond allows us to honor that philosophy with thoughtfully prepared, athlete-inspired meals that support both performance and presence.

From post-run pizzas to shared meals under the trees, this partnership takes the meaning of trailgating to the next level, transforming the finish line into a place to linger, refuel, and celebrate together. Whether you’re plant-based, omnivorous, or somewhere in between, meals are designed to nourish tired bodies, spark conversation, and turn a group of adventurers into a true community.

These partners have been hand-selected through personal experience. They are coaches who have helped Annalou move through some of her biggest physical and mental hurdles, and who deeply understand that strong runners are built through strength, resilience, and intention, not just mileage. Our adventures are designed to accommodate all fitness levels, whether you’re showing up exactly as you are or reaching toward something you’ve never done before. When you want extra support, we partner with coaches who know how to guide that growth the right way. While technology and AI can support training with data and structure, real progress happens through human connection, thoughtful coaching, and being truly seen in the process. Each partner embodies the ethos that fuels The Alpenglow Trail Co.: community over competition, purpose-driven movement, and a deep respect for the relationship between effort, nature, and long-term well-being.
