In Memory of Jim Morris
This year, the 2013 Banff Jasper Relay is being held in honor of a dear running friend - Jim Morris, who sadly passed away in January 2013 from a long battle with brain cancer. The passing of our dear friend reminds us, all the more, how important we believe it is to support the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada's mission. Click here to see our tribute to Jim.

SAFETY VEST INFO
Please note that this year safety vests will be provided to our runners. We will be providing 4 vests to each team (2 for the South, 2 for the North). Due to forced starts, teams may feel that they need more than 4 vests. Teams are permitted to bring their own additional vests, but they MUST be CSA Approved. Vests that are CSA Approved will be clearly labelled to indicate their status. If you do not see "CSA Approved" on the product, it is simply not.
Please note that Support Members are responsible for providing their own vests. These must also be CSA Approved, of course. A small number of these will be available for sale at the Captain's Meeting, and at the Saskatchewan River Crossing for $20 dollars each.
For more information, and for some images detailing the types of vests that are recommended, visit: www.bjr.ca/csa_vest_options

 | The Banff Jasper Relay The Most Beautiful Relay in the World! |
 |
|
The Relay is 258K in length, run in 15 stages on highways from Banff to Jasper utilizing the most beautiful highways in the world; scenic Highway 1A (Bow Valley Parkway) & Highway 93 (Icefields Parkway). The race is run on the shoulder of the highways facing traffic. Highways remain open for vehicles on race day.
The relay consists of 2 phases run simultaneously:
· Phase 1 has 6 stages from Banff to Saskatchewan River Crossing.
· Phase 2 has 9 stages from Saskatchewan River Crossing to Jasper.
Team results are based on the cumulative times for both phases of the relay added together.
We run all day Saturday, and have a great post race dinner party in Jasper after the race.
