Idaho Running Day 2026

Idaho Running Day begins and ends at Sandy Point Park in Boise, adjacent to Lucky Peak State Park. The event offers 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances, all held on the same race morning. The longer races commence at 8:00 a.m., with the 5K and 10K starting at 9:00 a.m. This schedule accommodates first-time runners, club members, and those targeting a marathon without changing locations. It is a road and park-run style event, featuring chip timing and pre-race packet collection at Fleet Feet stores throughout the Treasure Valley. All four distances follow out-and-back paths along the Boise Greenbelt, stretching between Lucky Peak Reservoir and Southeast Boise, with the Boise River nearby. The course is described as fast and flat, attracting participants from Idaho, the Pacific Northwest, Treasure Valley, Southwest Idaho, and Southeast Oregon. Runners completing their chosen distance receive custom-designed medals and athletic shirts. The event also includes prizes from local partners, a post-race gathering, and a warm-up run organized by Fleet Feet Treasure Valley prior to race day.
