Event
Details
The slow-moving waters of the Boise River are runners'
constant companion as they follow its twists and turns along the race
course at the running of Idaho's See Jane Run Half Marathon
& 5K in Boise, a companion event to the now four-year-old See Jane
Run Half
Marathon in Alameda, Calif.
Organized by the California-based
atheltic store chain of the same name as a benefit for Susan G. Komen
For The Cure®, the race gives participants an opportunity to
train for and run in their first half-marathon while also raising
money to fight breast cancer.
Planned as a race to encourage and celebrate women's athleticism, the
13.1-mile race features an out-and-back loop course that starts and
finishes at Boise's Julia Davis Park and takes runners along a mostly
flat course (with a few rolling hills mixed in) along the roads and
trails that run parallel to the Boise River. Along the way, runners
will also pass through a number of Boise's local parks and urban
greenspace areas, like Baggley Park, Municipal Park, Barber Park and
will run through the center of Warm Springs Golf Course, which lies
along the banks of the northern side of the river about a fourth of the
way through the race.
Runners make the half-way turn in the race as they make their way along
the edges of Barber Park, and then follow both East Parkview Drive and
East Parkcenter Drive. The course winds its way through these East
Boise neighborhoods as it continues taking runners northwest toward the
campus of Boise State University, along the edges of the river for most
of the last few miles of the race along the Greenbelt. The final
stretch of the race takes
the field across the bridge at 8th Street, passing by Boise's Anne
Frank Human Rights Memorial, and then finishes back in the center of
Julia Davis Park.
In addition to the half marathon -- which starts at 8:00 AM -- the See
Jane Run Boise race will also feature a 5K race for runners and
participants with strollers who wish to take their small children along
for the ride at the race, and a one-mile race for kids at 10:30 AM.
