Enjoy this fun 12k trail run in the Boise Foothills
This race is 7.16 miles of true foothills single-track, with almost 1,000 feet of total elevation gain. The race starts at Heritage Park in Avimor and proceeds up Spring Valley Creek along one mile of rolling single track. From there, runners will proceed up a twisting, scenic canyon at a gradual incline adjacent to the creek. Racers must be prepared for rocky outcrops, steep slopes, and wildlife. Once out of the canyon, runners will have a brief, flat descent before a short, monster climb up “The West Wall”. After the climb, runners will enjoy a breathtaking view of the Boise Valley before a fast, flat downhill through an open, grass-filled valley. The last ascent is quick and easy and leads to meandering single-track, followed by the last downhill of paved paradise, ending back at Heritage Park. This adventure will end with food, beer, wine, and camaraderie.
