Jasper-Banff Relay 1998
On May 30/31, 1998, a total of 120 teams took part in the 19th annual Jasper-Banff Relay. Check out all the results at Jasper-Banff Relay web site.
This was the 18th appearance of the Wapiti Striders in the event, having only missed 1988.
We finished in 37th place in a time of 22:34:41. This was our best time since 1995 and our best placing since 1987.
95 teams completed the course in the required 24 hour time limit. The MRI/Tech Shop Racing Team from Calgary won the event in 17:51:01. Tech Shop North from Edmonton was second in 18:13:10 while Mean Mountain Men from Edmonton was third in 18:19:58.
Below are the finish positions, time and places for each section. These results are taken from the official results.
Note: the official results indicate a 5 minute penalty in section 6 and a 40th place finish. Since we did not make any substitution, I have placed the team where I think they would have been placed in those results.
