This stretch is virtually all flat for the first four miles, and runners really don’t hit their first hill until just before the mile 5 marker along the Teton Pass Highway.

The race will start along Beckley Park Way just off the Teton Pass Highway, and from there runners will make a loop around Jackson Hole Community Parkway, 3rd Street and the Teton Pass Highway before they make their first crossing over the Snake River, at the bridge that parallels the highway.

Runners should note that the won’t actually run within the confines of Grand Teton National Park during the race - they’ll run just south of the park’s southern entrance, between the small town of Wilson and Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club, where they’ll cross the race finish line at the golf course’s driving range. Set for its 7th annual running, the Grand Teton Half Marathon is set to take runners on a high-elevation, point-to-point climb through Wyoming’s Jackson Hole area, where they’ll cross the Snake River twice and finish within sight of the majestic Teton Mountain range, just south of the national park for which they’re named.
