Kananaskis 100 Mile Relay
The event is a 100 mile team relay beginning in Longview in southwestern Alberta and finishing in Kananaskis Village at Nakiska. The course travels the Highwood Pass, the highest paved highway in Canada, and continues through the Kananaskis Valley. Legs nine and ten include cross-country sections before the finish.
The relay uses multiple legs and includes forced starts for slower teams to ensure completion within a day window; forced starts are used to meet a 14 hour completion plan and simultaneous forced starts may apply for teams with predicted times over 16 hours. Teams expecting to exceed 16 hours are asked to notify the race office. Participation is limited to 60 teams.
Registration is first come, first served with tiered pricing. Only the team captain needs to register initially; full team rosters are submitted later on a separate platform. Registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable, and cancellation insurance is offered as an optional purchase.
On race day, participants are provided with morning coffee and snacks in Longview, a post race meal at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, an after party featuring Annex beer and chef prepared food, preferred hotel rates, and event t-shirts. Parks authorities require runners to carry bear spray from the start of leg 3 to the finish; teams may pass one can between runners except where forced starts require individual cans for specific legs.
