Thanks for a great race! I was raving about it to my fellow runners in Helena this evening, so hopefully a few more of us will make it next year.
Thanks to all of the volunteers. The dinner, breakfast, water stops, registration, etc. -- everyone was fantastic. They were great supporters. The folks with hoses were very much appreciated.
I ran the half marathon and it was a beautiful course, beginning with a run along the river and enjoying views of the Tetons about midway through the course. My husband traveled with me and we enjoyed a magnificent long weekend: viewing trout and an enormous moose at the Big Springs near Island Park; checking out Mesa Falls and the incredible restored Visitors Center at the Upper Falls; fishing the Warm River; standing in awe of Cave Falls; and hiking along the Bechler River. Next time we'll stay a week!
The huckleberry milkshakes were a real treat as well. We came back a couple of days later and bought two more to savor on the trip home.
