PLEASE READ:
Get ready for the NEW and EVOLVED 9th Annual Jackson Hole Ultimate Towner Amazing Race!
You can check out the event COURSE MAP to get an idea of course checkpoints.
Your team goal is to earn as many points as you can by submitting text, photos, and videos via our app you will download on your smartphone to complete as many checkpoints and challenges as possible over a 2 hour period (11 AM to 1 PM Approximately). If you are an individual, you can still participate knowing that you will need to submit photos and videos of challenges. You can also join with other individuals before or on the event day to form a team.
Strategy, Creativity, and Teamwork will rule the day!
This is NOT like previous years where the course is one direction.
This year your team will:
- Choose how to navigate the course based on maps and our Amazing Race smartphone event app.
- Your team will submit text, photos, and videos to complete physical, mental, and creative challenges and earn points.
There will be hosts for some of the checkpoint challenges to assist with photos & videos.
Visit www.ultimatetowner.com to see what’s NEW this year.
Regular Price: $79 per adult, $49 per youth. DISCOUNTED registration is available for a limited time. Â
The 2022 Event Beneficiary: Teton County Search and Rescue Foundation.

What's included?
- The Ultimate Towner Amazing Race Experience!  PRICELESS!
- A $10 automatic direct cash donation to our event beneficiary, Teton County Search and Rescue Foundation, from your entry fee which is then matched to make $20 via Old Bills and the JH Community Foundation. We DO encourage additional direct donations upon registration.
- An Event Sticker (while supplies last for most attendees who register prior to the event.)
- Event prizes from sponsors! Check out the website for sponsor prize updates
How many people are on a team?
We recommend two to six participants per team. Teams stay together during the event completing checkpoints as one team. Someone will need to submit the photos and videos to earn points for your team and we find that having 4-6 people is optimal for the Amazing Race.
If you are an individual, you can still participate knowing that you will need to submit photos and videos of challenges. This is MUCH MORE than just a physical, run-around-the-town event. You can also join with other individuals before or on the event day to form a team.
How do we know where to go?
Checkpoints are located around the town of Jackson within 1 square mile of Town Square. Your team will receive preliminary course information before the event to strategize your approach (if you choose!). Your team will download a smartphone event app that will have location checkpoints and on-the-go challenges (done anywhere) integrated into the Towner course. This app will have all the checkpoints and challenges integrated with Google Maps for easy navigation.
How do you win?
Teams acquire points by submitting texts, photos, and videos to your downloaded smartphone event app to complete checkpoint challenges. Submissions are judged for accuracy and bonus points are awarded for style. At the end of the event, the team with the most points wins! Prizes will be given for specific checkpoint challenges.
When will we see the final course layout?
Final course updates will be released the week prior to the event to those registered. This will allow your team to strategize on the navigation of your course checkpoints.
Is there an age limit to enter the event?
This is an ALL AGES EVENT, and Children 12 and under must register and be accompanied by a registered, paying adult.
What can/can't I bring to the event?
Please, no dogs (other than service animals) on the course. No alcoholic open containers are allowed around the town.
Can I ride bikes?
Bicycles, skateboards and non-motorized vehicles are allowed. Be sure to follow all the Rules of the Road!
Is my ticket refundable?
All tickets are non-refundable, this is a fundraising event. You can transfer your ticket to another person by emailing Grand Dynamics at info@granddynamics.com.
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Event-specific questions, sponsorship, volunteering or how to be more involved contact Grand Dynamics at info@granddynamics.com.
