Runner Info

Participating in the Banff Jasper Relay is one of the most breathtaking experiences a runner can have. You’ll race through the majestic Canadian Rockies, surrounded by towering peaks, pristine air, and unforgettable views at every turn.

Here’s everything you need to know — from registration to race-day tips — to make your experience seamless and memorable.

🏃‍♀️ Registering as a Runner

Once your team is confirmed, your Team Captain will receive a private runner registration link.
Please contact your captain to obtain the link and complete your registration.

Tips for completing your registration:

  • Fill out all required fields carefully.

  • Use proper capitalization (e.g., John Doe, not JOHN DOE).

  • Double-check spelling of names and contact details.

  • Provide your full first and last names (no nicknames).

  • Ensure your emergency contact information is complete.

✅ Your race results will appear exactly as you enter them — so accuracy matters!

⏰ Team Roster Deadline

All teams must submit complete runner information at least 3 weeks prior to race day.
Any team member information submitted after this deadline will not be guaranteed participant merchandise (e.g., shirts or other items).

💰 Runner Contributions

Each runner contributes a share toward the team’s total registration fee.
Your Team Captain will confirm the amount you owe, based on the registration period (Early Bird or Regular).

Please note:

  • Payment is made directly to your captain.

  • Fees are non-refundable, regardless of injury or withdrawal.

  • Captains submit the full team payment to the Banff Jasper Relay Society.

🚫 Withdrawing from Your Team

If you’re unable to participate, contact your Team Captain as soon as possible.
Each team must have 15 runners, and as part of your commitment, you’ll help find a replacement.

  • Typically, your registration fee will be transferred to the replacement runner.

  • Any adjustments can be decided between you and your captain.

🏨 Accommodations

Work with your team captain to plan your accommodations.
Most teams stay at a designated hotel offering special Banff Jasper Relay participant rates.

We recommend your entire team stay in the same location to make pre-race coordination easier — especially since cell coverage is very limited along much of the course.

Additional Notes:

  • Runners may share rooms with family, friends, or partners at their own expense.

  • Guests not staying with a runner are not eligible for race discounts.

  • All guests on the course must follow race rules and safety protocols.

  • Guests attending the post-race celebration must purchase dinner tickets in advance.

📋 Race Information

Your Team Captain is responsible for ensuring all team members understand the race rules, safety protocols, and logistics. However, each runner must review this information independently to be fully prepared for race day.

Please review the Captain’s Manual (updated version available before race day) for complete details on safety, timing, and course procedures.
