A Car Would Be So Much Faster

Each year teams of runners, in varying degrees of fitness, relay from Banff to Calgary. Starting in the early morning and racing on into the evening, the competitors run the 141-kilometre highway that links the Banff Recreation Centre to Fort Calgary. The post-race festivities at the Fort include the three essentials for a good party: food, drink and massage. See their website for event times.
