Race Day Logistics

Being a team Captain is a big responsibility - but with a bit of planning your Banff Jasper Relay experience can be a great one for you and your team.

Long Term Planning:

Book Accomodation in or close to the Lake Louise Inn on Friday evening before the race for the South Phase runners.
Book accomodation for the North Phase Runners at The Crossing for Friday night for your North Phase Runners.
Book accomodation in Jasper at the Jasper Inn for Saturday night for the whole team.
Plan to be in Lake Louise Alberta by 4:00 PM on the Friday before the race, with your North Phase Team Captain.
If you are flying to the Relay, books your flights to arrive in Calgary Friday at noon and rent 2 vans - one for each Phase.

Team Captains (North and South) attend the Wildlife Update at the Lake Louise Inn at 6:00 PM. Please note that this is a mandatory meeting - it's part of our permit requirements to hold this event in Canada's National Parks.
