  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!

  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

  Distance: 5.6 km from Boise

  About the Event

  Join the LESS Society for our third annual Table Rock Run, a community celebration of health, perseverance, and purpose. This scenic event brings together healthcare professionals, families, and outdoor enthusiasts for a morning of movement, connection, and giving back — all against the backdrop of Boise’s iconic foothills.

  The run advances the LESS Society’s mission of Technology, Investing, Education, and Research (TIER) by fostering collaboration between innovation and community wellness. Proceeds from the event will support the LESS Society Idaho Scholarship Initiative, which provides educational opportunities for Idaho students pursuing careers in healthcare, science, and community leadership.

  Course Details

  The Table Rock Trail (#15) is a 3.8-mile round-trip route with approximately 900 feet of elevation gain. Runners will start at the Table Rock Trailhead, climb to the summit overlooking downtown Boise and the Treasure Valley, and loop back to the base. The course is moderate in difficulty, fully marked, and staffed with volunteers to ensure safety and support.

  In the event of muddy or unsafe conditions, the route will shift to the Old Penitentiary Loop Trail (#17) and Shoshone-Bannock Trail (#20) — maintaining a similar distance while protecting sensitive terrain.

  Event Support & Amenities

  Aid Stations: Located at the trailhead, midpoint, and summit with water, electrolyte drinks, light snacks, and first aid

  Restrooms: Available at the trailhead

  Safety: On-site certified medical responder and radio-equipped volunteers along the course

  Sustainability: Post-race cleanup and trail restoration led by volunteers to leave the trail in better condition than before

  Trail Etiquette

  Please help us preserve the trails and ensure a great experience for all participants:

  Stay on marked routes and follow volunteer directions

  Yield to uphill hikers and other trail users

  Respect wildlife and natural surroundings

  Carry out all trash and personal belongings

  Why We Run

  The LESS Society Table Rock Run is more than a race — it’s a movement that unites fitness, philanthropy, and community. Each step helps fund scholarships for Idaho students who aspire to serve their communities through education, medicine, and leadership.

  Together, we’re creating lasting impact — for Boise’s trails, for Idaho’s students, and for a healthier, more connected future.

  Instant Gratification Zero Mile Fun Run

  733 S Pioneer St, Boise, Idaho, 83702, United States
  OpenStreetMap Google Maps

  Distance: 9.6 km from Boise

  Sat, Sep 12, 2026 at 9:30 AM

  Based on a cartoon by Idaho's own Steve Moore, you begin and end at the same time - the start and finish line are one in the same. This event will feature all of the trappings of a marathon, only without the running. You will receive a bib number, have water cups handed to you as you cross the finish line, and be treated with fresh fruit and massages when you finish - just like the big marathons. After the race is over (which is right away), you will be entertained by professional cartoonists, music, food trucks and refreshments...and even award presentations (you will be getting a first place ribbon so make sure you get your picture on the winner's stand!). This is a family friendly event, and all proceeds go to veterans being supported by the Wyakin Foundation (www.wyakin.org).

  Virtual event: Can't make it to Boise to celebrate with us? Sign up for our virtual event and we'll mail you a tee shirt and your blue ribbon!

  Donations are welcome! Volunteers are welcome too - you can sign up here! Want to be a sponsor? Click here!
