The Courses
We love this river. A water flow that originates from the snow-capped peaks of the Sawtooth and Boise mountains, our race courses will get you intimately close to the sounds of the river as it winds through a rocky canyon and melts into an urban setting. We do reserve the right to make changes as we can't be boring.
UPDATE: MARCH 31, 2025 - In January, we were offered the chance to move down the river. Most of you know, our goal is to create a course where runners get to run the entire length of the Boise River Greenbelt from Lucky Peak State Park to Eagle Island State Park. A new section of Greenbelt helps (completed Summer 2024) us get a bit closer to that goal so we're moving.
CHANGES: FULL and HALF MARATHONERS will be offered a shuttle to the race start. You may have noticed, but we've pushed back the start time of the half marathon in order to help make this a smoother process. Please note that update.
COURSE DISTANCES: About SEVEN folks ask us each race if we're "Boston Qualified." The answer is "Not yet." While we do the course calibrations as well as the same process associated with BQ courses, we will not submit paperwork for review. The benefit for our runners is, we get to make the course as close to 26.2 as possible. Our courses are truly a battle between runner tangents versus course marking tangents. Unlike many BQ courses that are usually marked intentionally long (typically around 26.3 miles) we will not sneak in another tenth to ensure our course remains certified. Our process allows many of our runners to achieve personal bests.
