About the City of Trees Marathon

This established Boise race weekend uses the city's river corridor for its full marathon and companion distances. It is a convenient regional option with familiar RunSignup logistics.

Course

The course draws heavily on the Boise River Greenbelt and nearby roads, producing a generally flat path-and-road feel. Shared-use sections and turns reward awareness more than hill strength.

Race-day weather

Boise in October is commonly cool and dry at the start, then warmer under high-desert sun. Open Greenbelt sections may pick up wind.
