Event Details

The Jackson Hole Marathon races cover the best of the Jackson Hole Valley and finish at the base of the Teton Mountain Range in Teton Village. If the altitude doesn’t take your breath away, the scenery certainly will! While you’re here, enjoy Jackson’s vibrant food and art scene, sample some of the best craft breweries in the country, and explore endless open space in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, and Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. The Jackson Hole Marathon races also include a half marathon and quarter marathon. More details and registration can be found here.

Course Description (full marathon):

The Jackson Hole Marathon starts at the historic elk antler arches on Town Square and spend the first few miles winding past the National Elk Refuge and through neighborhoods before joining the community pathway system around mile 4. By mile 5 you’ll be officially out of town and headed out into the more rural areas of Teton County.

For the next nine miles, you’ll be heading around South Park Loop, and enjoying majestic views of the Jackson Hole Valley, the Tetons, and probably at least a couple of horses.

At about mile 14, you’ll be turning west on the pathway along Highway 22. As you near mile 17, you’re in for a treat as you cross the Snake River and enjoy some of the best views of the day (selfie time!).

Between miles 18 and 20, you’ll be looping through the quaint-quirky town of Wilson and then you’re heading north toward the Grand Teton and the Finish Line. Next stop: the elk antler arch finish line in Teton Village. 

99.6% of the course is run on paved roads and/or paved pathways, but the last .1 mi into the Finish Line is on grass. Please, no whining. The marathon course is USATF certified (WY17001TK).
