Melissa's Road Race coming to an end

The 38 year legacy of Melissa’s Road Race in Banff will come to an end this Saturday with today’s announcement that organizers will no longer continue to host the event after this year.

Bunny Julius from Melissa’s Restaurant discusses the reasons behind the decision, why we’ll likely never see another 5000 person race in Banff again, and why the event has accomplished the goals set out when it was created nearly four decades ago.

Online registration is still open for this year’s race until Tuesday. You can also sign up in person on Friday at the restaurant. If you’d like to volunteer for the final Melissa’s Road Race just give the restaurant a call.
