15 Stages – 15 Runners – 260 KM
Saturday, June 6, 2026 • 7:00 AM Start
The Full Banff – Jasper Relay
Gather your team of 15 and take on the full Banff Jasper Relay — a legendary 260 km journey through the heart of the Canadian Rockies.
Your team will race from Castle Mountain Junction (just north of Banff) all the way to Jasper National Park, following one of the most breathtaking routes in the world.
Two phases — South (S1–S6) and North (N7–N15) — run simultaneously so that the full distance can be completed in daylight hours.
When both phases reunite in Jasper, celebrate your team’s achievement at the post-event party with all relay participants!
