The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce can help answer questions regarding lodging and the wide variety of recreational
opportunities that Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park and nearby Yellowstone National Park have to offer. (307) 733-3316 Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm MST.  Plan ahead.  This is a heightened and busy time of the tourist season.  But it is also the best time to run through this area.  The wildflowers are awesome!

Aid Stations:

2 water stations are provided along the course. However, due to the back country location and rugged nature of this race, racers are encouraged not to depend on these stations as their sole supply of water. Bring your own water bottle or runner's vest to be sure!
Backcountry Etiquette: Runners using food packets, etc. during the race are reminded to carry out all their own trash. Conscientious backcountry travel ensures future access for all of us who enjoy the National Forest Service lands.
