Idaho Running Day
Idaho Running Day takes place on October 17, 2026, at Sandy Point Park in Boise, Idaho. The event features multiple race distances and team scoring.
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
The event includes team incentives with cash prizes: a $250 prize for the club with the most signups and $150 awarded to clubs with more than ten signups. Clubs that meet the entry threshold by September 15 are eligible for free booth space and a t-shirt feature.
All participants receive a locally designed medal, a high-quality athletic shirt, real-time chip results, and access to a post-race party. Aid stations are placed approximately every 2 to 3 miles on the 10K, half marathon, and full marathon courses, offering chews, gels, waffles, and hydration. Porta potties are available at the start and finish and along the course. Food trucks will be on site at the start and finish area.
Packet pickup is available at Fleet Feet locations in Nampa, Meridian, and Boise on the event week; limited race-day pickup will be offered at the start and finish area. A marked gear drop tent near the start and finish will use matching wristbands for bag identification; volunteers will monitor the area but are not responsible for lost items.
A shuttle option and limited parking are provided around Sandy Point and Lucky Peak; Idaho residents with a Parks Passport may be exempt from parking fees. Volunteer groups of five or more may earn a donation back to their organization. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
