Race Report: 2025 Grand Teton Half Marathon
By giventotri
Blue skies and Tetons in view set the stage for my Grand Teton Half Marathon race report. I recount the flat first half, Spring Gulch climb, 98 m elevation gain, parking hiccups, racing at 1,905 m altitude, pacing at 4:30/km, calf niggle, and using Maurten gels for Ironman 70.3 Coeur d'Alene prep.
