This race goes down in my top 2 of all time for scenery. How can you complain about the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole, WY as your backdrop? Wowza. I choose to believe it was the scenery that kept taking my breath away and not the 6,000 feet above sea level elevation 🙂

Vacation Races puts on a good race. Packet pick-up was super easy and I really like the color options for shirts. I also love the merchandise available for purchase (I still live in my beach hoodie). My one issue was with the start of the race — I heard grumblings on the morning of the race that there were so many more participants in 2016 compared to 2015 that the parking and transportation at race start were challenging. As a result, we ended up getting dropped off about 1 – 1.5 miles away from the start and walking to the start so that we would make it in time.

As it was, that was fine with us — a good warmup on an absolutely stunningly beautiful day. But surely there can be a better way than it taking nearly 30 minutes to go less than a mile in a car to get dropped off.

Other than that, no issues whatsoever. The race medal was one of my faves, and I can’t say enough about the incredibly gorgeous scenery. I loved it so much that I signed up again this year!
