This is the 3rd Vacation Race my wife and I have done. It’s also the second time we’ve raced this event. Like other events that they put on, has such a different feel than your standard road race.
The community that VR has built deviates from the pretentiousness found at the big time half and full marathons, instead fostering a culture of support and camaraderie.
The race starts early enough that by the time you finish, it’s just starting to get warm. The course is challenging and enjoyable. To add to the enjoyment, my pacers were excellent!
Then when you finish, the post race nutrition boxes are filled with the sort of food that actually sounds appealing after running 13.1 miles. Though, I don’t think it would be the worst thing if they could partner with Athletic Brewing and maybe have a good N/A beer waiting at the finish, but that’s just my Wisconsin showing.
The event staff are friendly and inclusive. There’s no feeling of being out of place and they really go out of their way to make to make you feel welcomed.
And finally, the medals are awesome.
As I always tell anyone I talk to, if you have a chance to do a Vacation Race, do it!

This was the 3rd event that my wife and I have done with Vacation Races. Finding the expo was easy and parking was excellent. We got were greeted by enthusiastic volunteers and got our bibs and merch quickly.
The nearby town had an excellent bar/grill with awesome food and great service. Down the road a park offered great views and some of the clearest water you’ll ever see.
The 5k was all pavement and the scenery was excellent. For the half marathon, it’s a straight out and then get shuttled back situation. The race itself features views of the mountains and great conversations. It ran along a paved path and had some road running.
The aid stations were plenty, you do need your own reusable cup though. After the race, they feed you well, and the medals are stunning.
My wife and I did the “Grand Quad” series which was completing the 5k and half marathon at the Tetons and the following week at Yellowstone. It’s totally worth it and I recommend taking the time to check it out!

Ever since I raced the Yellowstone Half, I have been waiting to have a chance to compete in a VR race again. VR goes to town on providing an amazing experience! From the camaraderie to the post race nutrition boxes to the amazing medals, it’s easy to see this is about the runners first. While out on the course, I hit a whole new level where the competitive part of me merged with the part of me that wanted to soak it all in.
If you have a chance to do any of their events, do it! You won’t regret it.
