Event Overview
The Kananaskis 100 Mile Relay is a team running event held on June 20, 2026. The course covers 100 miles through southwestern Alberta. It begins in the rolling hills of Longview and travels along Highway 541 towards the Rocky Mountains. The route crosses the Highwood Pass, which is the highest paved highway in Canada, and continues into the Kananaskis Valley, finishing in Kananaskis Village.
Event Structure and Rules
The relay is limited to 60 teams for safety reasons. Teams can consist of friends, family, or colleagues. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis with tiered pricing. Only the team captain needs to register initially; a full team roster is submitted separately later. Forced starts are implemented for slower teams to ensure the course is completed within 14 hours. Teams predicting a finish time over 16 hours must contact the race office.
Parks regulations require all runners to carry bear spray from the beginning of leg 3 onward, though it is recommended from leg 1. Teams may need multiple cans depending on if they are subject to forced starts.
