Boise Running: Greenbelt Flats and Foothills Views
Running in Boise, the capital of Idaho, is a scenic, river-centric experience that capitalizes on the city’s extensive pathway system. The Boise Marathon and Half Marathon is the city’s premier distance event. The course is known for its runner-friendly profile, largely utilizing the exceptionally beautiful Boise River Greenbelt. This paved path system minimizes major elevation changes, making large portions of the race fast and runnable while offering continuous, tranquil views of the river and the surrounding high-desert foothills.
The Blue Turf and Downtown Tour
The marathon course offers a comprehensive tour of the city, weaving through residential areas and past the vibrant downtown core. A major highlight is the stretch that runs near the distinctive blue turf of Albertsons Stadium at Boise State University, providing a quirky, high-energy backdrop. The half marathon distance is extremely popular, providing a perfect sample of the scenic Greenbelt paths and the downtown energy with less total mileage.
The city's commitment to its parkways ensures the courses are safe, smooth, and highly enjoyable. Whether you are tackling the full distance to leverage the flat river trails for speed, or enjoying a shorter race cheered on by the community against the dramatic backdrop of the mountains, running in Boise delivers a scenic, well-supported, and distinctly Western running adventure.
