Event Details

Part of Boise's City of Trees Marathon Association series of race events, the Fit For Life Half Marathon (which also includes a 10K and a 5K road race) features an out-and-back course described by race organizers as a "greenbelt course," through the tree-lined areas and greenspaces of the city. From the start time of 7:00 AM (to get the races in before the warm July weather becomes too much of a factor), all events begin at the Albertson's General Offices on East Parkcenter Boulevard and take runners west across Boise's Friendship Bridge, then around the north side of the city's greenbelt and back to the finish line area.

A number of local running clubs and organizations participate in the event alongside visitors, including local high school teams, Girls On The Run, Boise Fit and the Hash House Harriers. Overall, the course is mainly fast and flat through the streets of the city and around Julia Davis and Ann Morrison Parks, and run entirely along paved surfaces.


Race Weather & Climate

July is, on average, the Boise area's hottest month, with temperatures that average between 60°F and 89°F. It is also the city's second-driest month of the year, with a little over a third of inch of average rainfall during the month.
