The marathon course begins amidst the historic elk antler arches of Jackson Town Square, guiding runners past the National Elk Refuge and through charming neighborhoods before joining a dedicated pathway system around mile four. The journey unfolds with majestic vistas of the Tetons and the chance for wildlife sightings as you traverse the South Park Loop and cross the iconic Snake River around mile 17.

Energy gels and snacks are available at later stations for marathoners. Typical race day conditions in late September offer cool mornings around 32F, warming to highs of 64F, with a minimal 8% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather as the autumn foliage begins to turn.
