Jackson Hole welcomes runners for the Jackson Hole Marathon, Hole Half Marathon, and Quarter Marathon this Saturday, September 27, 2025. Expect increased foot traffic around Town Square in the early morning and steady activity in Teton Village through early afternoon. 

Key Race Facts (so you can plan hours & staffing)

  • Start times (Town Square)

    • Marathon: 7:30 a.m.

    • Hole Half: 9:00 a.m.

    • Quarter Marathon: 10:00 a.m. 

  • Finish area: All races finish in Teton Village. Expect increased demand for coffee, brunch, grab-and-go, recovery snacks, and celebratory meals mid-morning through afternoon. 

  • Open-course reminder: Portions of the course use public roads and pathways; runners share space with regular users. Please keep sidewalks, entrances, and pathway edges clear near your business.

  • “Cupless” race: Aid stations don’t provide disposable cups. Runners carry their own bottles/cups—opportunity for shops to offer bottle refills or quick sales on reusable bottles. 

Transportation & Morning Shuttle Details (good to advise guests/employees)

How Businesses Can Make the Most of Marathon Weekend

Hospitality & Retail

  • Open earlier than usual near Town Square (6:30–7:00 a.m.) for coffee, pastries, breakfast burritos, and grab-and-go.

  • In Teton Village, plan late-morning / brunch capacity and quick “runner-friendly” menus (salty snacks, carbs, mocktails).

  • Create a spectator special (e.g., “Cheer Squad Latte” or “Post-Race Plate”) and display it out front.

Lodging

  • Share shuttle times and Ranch Lot details in guest messages; remind early risers about quiet hours and to queue respectfully near the Square. 

  • Offer late checkout or bag storage for runners.

All Members

  • Put out a welcome sign (“Good luck, runners!”) and consider a cheer zone with cowbells outside (keeping walkways clear).

  • Encourage staff to bike/walk/carpool if possible on Saturday morning to ease congestion.

  • Tag @JHChamber and use event-friendly hashtags to amplify visitors’ posts.

Quick Safety & Courtesy Reminders

  • Keep doorways and sidewalks clear; expect families and strollers among spectators.

  • If your storefront touches a pathway segment, avoid setting displays on pathway edges during race hours. 

  • Be wildlife aware—race communications ask runners to watch for pets and wildlife on shared paths.
