Banff Jasper Relay 2026 : Event overview
The Banff Jasper Relay runs from Castle Mountain Junction to Jasper, passing through Banff and Jasper National Parks along the Bow Valley and Icefields Parkways. The event takes place in Lake Louise, Alberta, on June 6, 2026.
Team divisions offered:
- 6-person team - 105 km
- 9-person team - 155 km
- 15-person team - 260 km
Entries include finisher medals for all runners, an event T-shirt (guaranteed if registered by the team deadline), and team category awards. Registration is managed per person: a team captain creates the team and teammates join under the same team name. Team rosters must be completed three weeks before the race to guarantee participant merchandise.
Organizers provide official race support and logistics, including bus transport for designated stages, a Captain's Manual, and a Volunteer Guide. Permits and routes are authorized by Parks Canada. Because the course runs through protected parkland, wildlife activity may occur; organizers may alter, delay, shorten, or cancel stages under the event wildlife response plan. Air quality and wildfire smoke are monitored; the event may be modified or cancelled for safety. Fees are shown in Canadian dollars, a 5% GST applies, payment is required at registration, and payments are non-refundable. A fundraiser-only registration is available for supporters who wish to raise funds without running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
