Overall the race path is easy to tackle – either on paved bike paths or dirt roads. Elevation changes is minor, but be aware the starting elevation is high, and having a few days to adjust before the race really saved my butt (especially since it is my first race). The only issue is the bottleneck at the start of the race, with the first mile on the side of the freeway. There is not enough space to spread out/pass, which causes the runners to spill over form the shoulder onto the roadway. It is not a very busy road, but definitely a hazard.
The scenery is gorgeous, especially along the last stretch into the valley with the Tetons rising on the left. Great distraction and motivation in the finishing miles!
A great destination race, arriving a few days earlier will give you time to explore Grand Tetons and/or Yellowstone Nation Parks, and also time to acclimate to the elevation.
