Air Quality & Wildfire Smoke Protocol
Air quality in Jasper National Park is monitored daily during event week using Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) and Parks Canada advisories.
Should wildfire smoke or poor air quality present safety concerns, organizers reserve the right to:
- delay the start time,

Force Majeure & Event Cancellation Policy
The safety of all participants, volunteers, and staff is our highest priority. Circumstances beyond the organizer’s control — including but not limited to wildfire, poor air quality, wildlife activity, severe weather, natural disaster, public health restrictions, or other force majeure events — may impact the safe delivery of the Jasper Canadian Rockies Half Marathon.

- If the event is fully cancelled prior to race day due to wildfire smoke (AQHI 7 or higher), government restrictions, or other uncontrollable factors that prevent safe participation, organizers may, at their discretion, provide one of the following options:
- Free entry into the Virtual Event for 2026, or
