    This is more than just a fundraiser run— it’s a movement.

    Pace for Peace is excited to announce the return of Run for Refugees, for Spring 2026.

    Refugee resettlement is a staple of Idaho. Recent events have left these programs vulnerable, as they face funding cuts or unexpected pauses.

    After a successful 2025 run, volunteer community members and students who have been impacted by refugee resettlement and immigration have come together again to gather support. Bridging the funding gap, and building community through healthy activity.

    This race benefits local and global resettlement services:

    • Agency for New Americans (ANA), a refugees resettlement agency located in Boise, Idaho. Learn more at http://www.anaidaho.org/

    • Atiye Charity Association a non-profit providing direct support to refugees in located in Sudan. Learn more at https://www.atiyaaca.org

    Located in Boise, Idaho. Pace for Peace (P4P) is a registered non-profit, founded and run by current students from three local universities and young professionals. Our goal is to come together to build community with refugees and locals, ultimately bringing attention to global humanitarian issues and connecting them back to our local community.

    Boise Front Trail Festival

    Join us on Friday, July 31st and/or Saturday, August 1st for a wonderful weekend of trails, nature and good vibes!

    NOTE: The links below will take you to the Boise Running website for details including course maps, parking, awards, and other important information. Please be aware that the Boise Running team is currently considering NEW 2026 courses that include more singletrack, a start/finish closer to the main lodge, and the same challenging climbs you know & love! Maps currently available starting/finishing from the Frontier Point Lodge are from previous years and available to view as a reference, but may not apply to this year's event.

    SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:

    Friday, July 31st at 6:00 pm - The Hill Climb

    This INTENSE event is great for hikers, peak baggers, nordic skiers and those who just love a good challenge. We'll be taking the shortest route to the top of Shafer Butte (the highest point in Boise), but shortest doesn't mean easiest! The climb is a combination of terrain, but be prepared for lots of it to be STEEP!

    Interested in an extra dose of fun? Camp out with the race team after this event and join us for the 5 mile or 10 mile on Saturday too!

    LEARN MORE

    Saturday, August 1st at 7:00 am - 10 Mile Race

    This event is the ultimate challenge, but all the vertical climbing is totally worth it! Climb over 2,000 feet and reach the highest point in all of Boise! This event has a generous cut off time that allows you to hike the entire event and still make it with room to spare! LEARN MORE

    Saturday, August 1st at 8:00 am - 5 Mile Race

    This event is perfect for new hikers and trail runners. We believe in the outdoors being accessible to all people, even those that are new to the sport or only can train on flat terrain. With a generous cutoff time (same as the 10 mile!), wide trails without many rocks and rolling terrain, this event is perfect for those of you that are trail curious. LEARN MORE
