On May 31, 2025, the city of St. Albert came alive with energy, laughter, and Shop Local devotion as The Amazing Race St. Albert took over the city! Organized and brilliantly executed by the team at Blackmore Real Estate, the event brought together 33 incredible local businesses who served as pit-stops for 35 dynamic teams of two.
Each team raced across the city, solving clues, completing challenges, and collecting stamps in their race passports—all in pursuit of the grand prize and a day of unforgettable memories.
Shop St. Albert was proud to be part of the action!
Our pit-stop was set up right in the St. Albert Centre parking lot, where CoCo the Shop Local Smart car was ready and waiting. The challenge? Teams had to snap a selfie with CoCo and St. Albert Centre in the background and post it on Instagram using the hashtags:
#blackmorerealestate
#stalbertamazingrace
#shopstalbert
From there, racers visited ShopStAlbert.ca, hunted down a homepage clue that led them to the St. Albert Centre directory, and finally answered: How many locally-owned, independent businesses are in the mall?
Everyone nailed it—14 amazing local businesses!
This high-energy, community-driven event showcased the best of St. Albert—our local entrepreneurs, supportive residents, and the spirit of connection that keeps our city thriving.
A huge thank you to Blackmore Real Estate for championing this event and bringing businesses and locals together in such a meaningful way. We can't wait to do it again!
