Jackson Hole Half Marathon

Embark on an unforgettable running adventure at the Jackson Hole Half Marathon and 5K, set against the majestic backdrop of the Grand Teton mountains on June 13, 2026. This highly acclaimed race, known for its spectacular scenery, offers runners a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the pristine wilderness of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Both the 13.1-mile and 5K courses promise breathtaking vistas and a memorable journey through one of North America's most scenic regions.

The point-to-point half marathon course begins just south of Teton Village on a dedicated bike path, leading runners approximately 11.5 miles toward downtown Jackson and culminating at Phil Baux Park. While the starting elevation above 6,000 feet presents a challenging element for some, the predominantly net-downhill route, featuring few turns, offers the potential for a fast and invigorating race for those prepared for the altitude. Along the paved pathways, you'll cross the iconic Snake River around the mile 4 mark, with panoramic views of towering peaks and the possibility of spotting local wildlife. Aid stations, providing water and Powerade, are strategically placed approximately every three miles, with portable restrooms available at regular intervals. This proudly cupless race encourages participants to carry their own hydration systems, reflecting its commitment to the environment.

Runners consistently praise the Jackson Hole Half Marathon for its stunning natural beauty and supportive, community-focused atmosphere, often citing the incredible views as a highlight. A pre-race shuttle conveniently transports half marathoners from the finish line to the start, ensuring a smooth logistical experience. Finishers are celebrated with a unique medal and race shirt, and can enjoy post-race pizza and snacks. Prepare for variable mountain conditions; typical race day weather in June can range, offering cool mornings and pleasant afternoons. The Jackson Hole Half Marathon is more than just a race; it's an immersive experience blending competitive running with unparalleled natural splendor.
