This run is challenging as it’s run in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The elevation may be tough for some but give I live nearby I train at this altitude. The course is uphill until the turnaround then down back to the start. The old highway this race is run on is closed to all traffic in both directions so feels like you are running for the most part alone in the mountains. This race is green, and organizers & volunteers do a really great job of ensuring everyone adheres to this principle. Gorgeous to hang out for awards and prizes along the beautiful Bow River in downtown Banff. COuldn’t ask for a more beautiful setting for a race!
