About the race
The Banff Jasper Relay is a point-to-point team relay running event from Lake Louise to Jasper that travels through Banff and Jasper National Parks along the Bow Valley and Icefields Parkways.
Teams choose from three relay distances and register per person. Available divisions:
- 260 km Relay - 15-person team
- 155 km Relay - 9-person team
- 105 km Relay - 6-person team
A Team Ultra option allows smaller groups to complete multiple legs for the same registered division. Team rosters must be completed three weeks before the race to guarantee participant merchandise.
Entries include finisher medals, event T-shirts (guaranteed for those registered by the team deadline), team category awards, post-race banquet in Jasper, official race support and logistics including bus transportation for designated stages, and access to the Captain’s Manual and Volunteer Guide. Pricing is shown per person in Canadian dollars and a 5% GST is applied at checkout. Payments are non-refundable.
Event permits and routes are authorized by Parks Canada. Organizers may delay, hold participants, alter or shorten the route, cancel stages, or cancel the event for wildlife or safety reasons. Air quality and wildfire smoke are monitored; if conditions meet specified risk levels organizers may modify stages or cancel the event. In such circumstances no refunds or deferrals will be issued and participant merchandise will be mailed to team captains.
Participants agree to follow event rules and accept the risks of an outdoor mountain park event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
