About the Relay:

The Banff-Jasper was resurrected in 2005 following the end of the classic Jasper-Banff relay which ran from 1980 to 2000. The event is held in honor of our friend and fellow runner Garth Huck, who sadly passed away of a brain tumour in 2004. Since 2005, runners have raised over $500,000 for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada.
