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

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

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.
We are so excited for the 10th Annual Ada County Kids’ Duathlon on Saturday, September 12th, now known as the Tobin Bolter Memorial Kids’ Duathlon. We have some really fun things lined up for your kids and can’t wait for the big day. Below you will find some important event logistics and a map of the event, including the courses for each age group.
PARKING
You can park in either the North or South parking lots, just be aware that the North parking lot will not be accessible during the races. We will have volunteers there ensuring that our participants are safe crossing the street. If you plan on attending the entirety of the event, you shouldn’t have any issues, but just heads up. You can also utilize the street as overflow parking.
When you arrive, place your participant(s)’ bikes in the designated bike corral along the race route in the south parking lot. When they are done with their race, they will park them on the basketball court near the finish line.
RACE RULES
All participants must wear a helmet any time they are on a bicycle. Each participant will receive a bib with timing chips attached in their race packet at packet pickup. When you arrive at the event, it is imperative that you instruct your children not to cross the start or finish line outside of their race, as it will mess up their time and alter the results. Keep in mind that these courses are happening on trails – there is not a lot of extra room for passing or for parents to be close by. We do have designated spectator viewing areas, and will also have volunteers placed along the route to ensure their safety. For parents of our 3 year old competitors, who will mostly be on asphalt and will only do the running portion on the trail, if your child needs you to run the race with them for moral support, you are welcome to do that!
