Running The Jackson Hole Half Marathon in Wyoming

I visited Jackson, Wyoming, for the first time during a solo trip in 2025. The trip was centered around one event: The Jackson Hole Half Marathon. This would be my third half marathon race, and the first time running any sort of marathon event without any support system physically with me. I had been dreaming of exploring Wyoming, fueled by Instagram-inspo reels and country music fantasies. Running through Jackson with the Tetons decorating the race course was one of the coolest experiences I’ve had in my running journey. Now, a year later, I’m sharing the play-by-play of my race day. If you’re considering running the Jackson Hole Half Marathon or full Marathon and want more insight into what the race is like, here’s a look at my training and race-day experiences.

5 Weekend Road Trips Under 5 Hours From NYC

My favorite trip is a road trip, but I have my limit on how much time I can spend in a car without losing my mind. Living right near New York City, I’m familiar with how frustrating traffic can get, especially when you’re trying to get out of town. (Hopefully, gas prices will start going down before I have to start driving this summer.) Luckily, there are so many great spots within a five-hour drive radius that make the headache of stop-and-starts so worth it. Here are five weekend road trips within a day’s drive from New York City that I would recommend bumping up on your list this summer.

A Night Crafting With Girls Got Chops in Jersey City, NJ

As an outdoorsy girl living in a city, I’ve been looking for more ways to bring the outdoors indoors. No, I don’t want to take home a pet grizzly bear or set up a tent in my living room. I’m starting with decorating my home, but I was trying to figure out how to combine both mountains and hiking with city vibes. It all clicked when a local Jersey friend shared that she was hosting a workshop on creating mixed-media collages. Here’s how I brought my outdoorsy vibe indoors during collage night with Girls Got Chops in Jersey City, NJ.
