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.
You can purchase your pre-race shuttle ticket when you register (or in your RunSignUp account after you register). Shuttles run from the finish line to the start lines BEFORE the race. There is no post-race shuttle. Please check out our transportation page to figure out your logistics in advance of arriving at the race.
Join us on Sunday 9/24/23 for The Hobble, our post-race pub crawl. It's a great time for you and your crew to meet other racers, visit with your (amazing) race directors, and check out some local watering holes.

The Marathon
The marathon course is USATF certified (WY17001TK) and is a Boston Marathon qualifier. The course is run at altitude of ~6,300ft with an elevation gain of 522ft and a loss of 511ft over 26.2 miles. The entire marathon course is run over paved roadways and pathways, apart from less than a tenth of a mile at the finish which is on grass (and slightly uphill).
Marathon Course Description
The Jackson Hole Marathon course starts near Jackson Town Square’s famous elk antler arches. The first four miles take you past the beautiful views of the National Elk Refuge, through the neighborhoods of east Jackson, and along the base of Snow King Mountain before you separate from the road and hop on the pedestrians-only pathway network and head out of town limits.
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. See the course map below. DOWNLOAD MAP
Half Marathon Course Description
The course starts at the Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole, spends the first .5 miles running through quiet neighborhood streets, and then joins the Marathon course on the Jackson Community Pathway System for the remainder of the race.
At about mile 1.5, you’ll be turning west on the pathway along Highway 22. As you near mile 3.5, 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 5 and 7, 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. See the course map below. DOWNLOAD MAP
Quarter Marathon Course Description
The Quarter Marathon will start at the Village Road Transit Center/Stilson Lot and will join the Marathon and Half Marathon course heading north on the Jackson Community Pathway System to Teton Village, finishing on the Village Commons. Note: the last .1 miles of the course are on grass (and are slightly uphill), but then there’s beer so you’ll make it. DOWNLOAD MAP
