Grand Teton Half Marathon

Embark on an unforgettable journey through one of America's most majestic landscapes at the Grand Teton Half Marathon on June 6, 2026, in Jackson, Wyoming. Consistently ranked among the most scenic half marathons in the U.S., this 13.1-mile race promises breathtaking views and an exhilarating challenge. Runners will traverse a high-elevation, point-to-point course through the stunning Jackson Hole area, just south of Grand Teton National Park, with the majestic Teton Mountain Range as your constant companion. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant highs around 66F and lows around 36F, with a low chance of precipitation.

The course itself is a captivating blend of flat stretches and gradual climbs, primarily on paved roads and some packed dirt paths. The initial four miles offer a relatively flat start, guiding runners across the Snake River. Beyond mile four, the elevation begins its slow-but-steady rise, climbing from over 6,100 feet to approximately 6,350 feet at the finish line, presenting an engaging test of endurance at altitude. Participants frequently praise the race's impeccable organization and the awe-inspiring scenery, with the finish line at the Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club's driving range offering a spectacular, picture-perfect reveal of the Tetons.

With five well-stocked aid stations providing water, Gnarly Hydrate, Honey Stinger gels, and fruit at later stops, runners are well-supported throughout their journey. However, remember to bring your own reusable cup or device, as the race is committed to reducing waste by not providing cups on course. The Grand Teton Half Marathon is not just a race; it's an immersive experience, a chance to push your limits amidst unparalleled natural beauty, and an event that consistently earns high praise from its participants for its beauty and management.
