Banff Jasper Relay
The Banff Jasper Relay is a point to point relay held on June 6, 2026 running from Castle Mountain Junction to Jasper through Banff and Jasper National Parks along the Bow Valley Parkway and Icefields Parkway.
Teams may register in three divisions:
- 6 person team - 105 km
- 9 person team - 155 km
- 15 person team - 260 km
Entries include finisher medals, an event T shirt (guaranteed if registered by the team deadline), a post race banquet in Jasper, and access to the Captain’s Manual and Volunteer Guide. The event provides official race support and logistics, including bus transportation for designated stages.
Registration is completed individually for each team member and requires payment in full at the time of registration. Fees are listed in Canadian dollars and a 5% GST is applied at checkout. All payments are non refundable. Team rosters should be finalized three weeks before the race to guarantee participant merchandise.
Event permits and routes are authorized by Parks Canada. Wildlife activity may occur near the course and organizers may delay the start, hold participants on course, alter or shorten the route, cancel stages, or cancel the full event under the Event Wildlife Interaction Response Plan; no refunds will be issued in these circumstances. Air quality and wildfire smoke will be monitored using the Air Quality Health Index; if conditions reach AQHI 7 or above, organizers may delay, modify, suspend, or cancel stages. If cancellation occurs for air quality or smoke reasons, the event will be deemed complete once any stages have been run, no refunds or deferrals will be issued, and participant merchandise will be mailed to team captains.
All team captains must attend a pre race meeting the day before to collect gear and race bibs; meeting locations vary by division. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
