Details
One of Idaho's smaller running races but also one of its most scenic,
the Lewis & Clark Half Marathon & 5K Fun Run saw just
over 50 runners cross the finish line at the race's fall 2008 running,
along a beautiful riverside course that runs alongside Idaho's Snake
River, through
the cities of Clarkston and Lewiston, with the turnaround point in
nearby Asotin, Washington, just to the south.
The starting and finish lines for the race lie at Granite Lake Park on
Port Way in nearby Clarkston, which lies just over the state line in
Washington to the west of Lewiston. From there, runners follow an
out-and-back course almost entirely along the Snake River, following
the bends of the river as it curves its way southward down to the half
marathon's turnaround point in Asotin. Once there, runners begin their
trek back along the trail's fast and flat course, made up mostly of
paved surfaces throughout the race.
Organized by Lewiston's Seaport Striders running club, the race is open
to runners who wish to run the half marathon either as individual
participants or as members of two- or three-person relay teams, and the
day's events also include a 5K "fun
run," which follows an out-and-back course from the starting point at
Granite Lake Park to Beachview Park and back.
