From the organizer

Welcome to the Boise Marathon. The Boise Marathon will offer the summer option for our marathon series. June 20th promises to be one of the longest Boise days. Sunrise is at 6:04 a.m. and while Sunset is scheduled for 9:30 p.m., you know that Boise sun can hang in the sky until late into the evening. We can't imagine a more perfect day to run our Summer Marathon.

DISCLAIMER: Boise also likes to offer multiple weather seasons throughout a June day. We'll promise the sunrise/sunset time, not sure about what season.

Marathon Series:

Spring - Boise River Marathon - May 2, 2026

Summer - Boise Marathon - You found it!!!

Fall - City of Trees Marathon - October 10, 2026

Winter - Boise Half Marathon - November TBD 2026

Courses:

One of the most scenic courses in the country located in beautiful Boise, Idaho. You will wander through canyons, trees, riverside neighborhoods and some of the prettiest parks in the country !

Great Swag:

We'll follow our usual recipe of race production to include our coveted race shirt (we're thinking of something other than the t-shirt hoodie for this race), sweet swag, and finisher food/drink. ALL participants will get a finisher's medal. Please note that registrants registering within 2 weeks of race date may not be guaranteed a shirt. (We'll do the best we can. We're cutting off registrations once we think we can no longer get you a shirt or a medal. Medals are easy... but we don't know what shirt size folks are until they register so there's no way to know. Thanks to all who register early!!!)
