Details
Now a running tradition here in this small southeastern Idaho town for
more than three decades, the John Colter Half Marathon & 2-mile
Fun Run is set to mark its 34th annual running in 2010, along a course
that takes runners along the streets of both the town of Driggs and
nearby Alta, Wyoming, in the shadow of the magestic Tetons, which look
over the valley from nearby Grand Teton National Park to the east of
town.
Both the half marathon and the two-mile "fun run" start and finish in
Driggs at the Driggs City Park on the corner of First Street and
Wallace Avenue. From there, runners follow the city streets westward
toward the Wyoming town of Alta, which lies right along the
Idaho-Wyoming state line. Once runners hit the turnaround point in
Alta, they then head back eastward, back toward the finish line at
Driggs City Park.
Race
Weather & Climate
Located in eastern Idaho, just miles from Wyoming's Yellowstone
National Park to the north and Grand Teton National Park to the east,

experiences relatively low precipitation year-round. On the day of the
race (Aug. 7), the town's historical average high temperature is
80°F
and its average low is 46°F, while rainfall amounts average
just over an inch for the month.
