  What’s the Serenata Shuffle?

  The Serenata Shuffle is a fun, music-filled race along Boise’s Greenbelt. Choose between a timed 5K or a 1-Mile Fun Run, perfect for runners, walkers, and families.

  Starting and finishing at Veterans Memorial Park, the course features live performances from Serenata Orchestra musicians along the way.

  All registered participants receive a free event t-shirt and commemorative medallion. And don’t forget to keep your eyes on the prize—chase the Maestro along the course for a chance to win exclusive raffle prizes!

  Early Bird pricing runs through January 11, with a final price increase on March 28.

  This event is partner-sponsored by Fleet Feet Treasure Valley, supporting a great community-focused race experience.

  Grab a few friends and save—groups of 3 or more get $3 off per person.

  Packet pick-up will be on April 9th at Fleet Feet Nampa and April 10th at Fleet Feet Meridian.

  Who is Serenata Orchestra?

  We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit community orchestra with a mission to enrich the lives of our members and audiences while inspiring a lifelong passion for music. We proudly offer four engaging, lively, and family-friendly concerts each year—completely free of charge—to the citizens of the Treasure Valley.

  While our concerts are free to attend, producing them comes with significant costs. Expenses such as rehearsal space, concert venues, music acquisition, and other essentials add up throughout the year. To support these efforts, in 2025, we introduced our annual fundraiser, the Serenata Shuffle, which is a 5-kilometer and 1-mile run/walk event.

  Join us for the Serenata Shuffle or donate to help us continue bringing free, inspiring concerts to our community. Thank you for your support!

  Every journey requires momentum.

  The First Push is the second event in the Zero Dark Thirty Run Series — a progressive program designed to take participants from their first mile all the way to a full marathon.

  The 5K represents a powerful milestone. It’s where confidence starts to build, consistency takes shape, and participants begin to see what they’re capable of.

  This event is run or walk friendly and designed to be welcoming to all ability levels. Whether you’re continuing from the 1 Mile or stepping up for the first time, this race is about forward progress.

  All proceeds benefit the Zero Dark Thirty Foundation, a veteran-led nonprofit supporting veterans through movement, mentorship, and community.

  Race History:

  The Saint Alphonsus Capitol Classic Race was started by Ron and Betsy Twilegar in 1983 to encourage young people to become interested in physical fitness, especially running. At that first race, held on September 2, 1983, 1,000 children ran from the State Capitol Building to the Union Pacific Depot. Through the efforts of Dr. Michael and Kirsten Coughlin, Saint Alphonsus became involved with supporting the race in 1987. The race date was changed to the end of the school year and has continued as a tradition for many Treasure Valley families.

  PARENTS! Listen Up!

  Can parents run with the kids?

  Yes! . . . with a couple of caveats:

  • If you want to run alongside your child, please start at the back of the pack, behind the start line of the 6-year-olds.

  • Only one grownup per child, please.

  • Adults will not receive a medal or shirt and need not register.

  • If you’d like to be one of the adult volunteers to ensure safety along the course, please visit this link to sign up.

  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.

  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!!!)

  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

  ABOUT THE EVENTS

  Visit our WEBSITE for more details and an extensive FAQ!

  Proceeds from the Boise Front Trail Festival are donated to Ridge to Rivers - since 2022, we've been able to donate over $20,000 to our trail system. This has directly helped with new trail projects in the Boise Foothills, including the new Hawkins Reserve Trail.

  All 5 mile and 10 mile finishers receive a t-shirt and a custom-designed medal.

  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.

  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!

  Who was SueB?

  A vivacious, intelligent woman who is missed dearly every day. February 9, 1955 – April 4, 2008

  Susan Elaine Brubaker Newby died in 2008 during a mysterious horseback riding incident. After her death, family, and friends realized that SueB – her nickname – was likely in an abusive marriage. SueB’s sister, Marj, and friends, Leslie and Teresa turned to the WCA as a way to honor SueB’s life and increase awareness about domestic violence. Their hope: “to help other successful, smart, beautiful women like SueB leave these relationships before it’s too late.”

  About The Race:

  Continuing to honor the memory of Susan “Sue B” Newby, The 17th Annual SueB 5K kicks off on Sunday, October 4th at 12 pm at Julia Davis Park in Downtown Boise, ID. Each participant will receive a free t-shirt*.

  In addition to the race, there will be a community resource fair starting at 10:30 am that is open to the public. This is an opportunity to discover and learn about the fantastic resources that our community has to offer. Raising awareness and encouraging important discussions about domestic abuse has always been a passion of Sue’s family and friends.

  Race fees support our Endowment Fund to ensure the WCA can maintain our services and serve our clients for many years to come. The object of this Endowment is to provide funds in perpetuity for the operation of all of the WCA’s programs to provide safety, healing, and freedom from domestic abuse and sexual assault.

  In the heartfelt words of Sue’s sister Marj Sente: "Don’t wait until your sister, daughter or mother is a victim of domestic abuse or sexual assault, step forward now and make an investment in the WCA to raise awareness about domestic violence."

  This is a great opportunity to celebrate positive relationships with your family, friends, and coworkers. Will you join us?

  About The Course:

  The 2026 SueB 5K course starts in Julia Davis park on the pathway between the Rose Garden and Boise Art Museum. Participants will venture onto the Boise River Greenbelt and travel east, staying on the north side of the Greenbelt. There will be an aid station with water at the halfway point (near Kristen Armstrong Park). Runners and walkers will then turn and head back towards Julia Davis park, finishing where they started!

  This is The Summit.

  The Ultra is the final event in the Zero Dark Thirty Run Series — a progressive program designed to take participants from their first mile to 30 miles over the course of the season.

  The Summit represents more than distance. It represents commitment, discipline, and follow-through. It’s the culmination of months of steady effort and the closing chapter of a journey that began with a single mile.

  This event takes place near Veterans Day, honoring resilience, service, and the power of showing up — again and again.

  This race is run/walk friendly, and participants may move at their own pace. Whether you run the entire distance or use a run/walk strategy, finishing is what matters.

  All proceeds benefit the Zero Dark Thirty Foundation, a veteran-led nonprofit supporting veterans through movement, mentorship, and community.

  DISTANCES

  1 Mile

  Perfect for walkers, beginners, families, and first-time participants. Walking is fully encouraged and welcomed.

  5K (3.1 miles)

  10K (6.2 miles)

  All distances are walk-friendly, fully timed, and open to participants of all ability levels.

  Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)

  WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR

  Walkers and first-time participants

  People returning to movement after time away

  Veterans and first responders

  Families and friends

  Experienced runners who want a meaningful season-long challenge

  If you can walk a mile, you can do this event.

  THE ZERO DARK THIRTY ETHOS

  “Zero Dark Thirty” represents discipline, early mornings, and choosing to show up — even when it feels uncomfortable.

  This series is about progress over pace. No pressure. No cutoff times. Just forward movement.

  WHAT YOU GET

  Finalized Results with Awards and Prizes at the Gala

  Finisher Military Challenge Coin (yes, walkers earn the same Military Challenge Coin)

  Access to the Zero Dark Thirty Run Series community

  The chance to support veterans through the Zero Dark Thirty Foundation

  Welcome to the annual Turkey Day 5k in Boise, Idaho’s favorite Thanksgiving Day tradition.

  Turkey Day 5K is a whole family fun run designed to kick off your day with fun, energy, and community. Bring the whole "Flock" and run or walk together on Thanksgiving morning!

  2025 marks the 14th year that the event benefits both the Boise Rescue Mission and Camp Rainbow Gold. As Boise continues to grow, so does the need for the services these organizations provide. Just by showing up you are already helping us contribute to these great organizations – but you can do more: bring extra canned food, make a donation directly to these groups, or better yet, donate a few hours of your time volunteering with them and you’ll both be rewarded.

  Thank you again for joining us in 2025 and Happy Thanksgiving!

  Please consider volunteering too!

  If you cannot race this year, then please join us as a volunteer. Even if you are racing, consider one of the pre-race day volunteer positions for the Boise or Caldwell events or even both.

  The YMCA Thanksgiving Leftovers Fun Run!

  As part of our race community, you know how special race day gear can be! So here's a fun new twist!

  We have some awesome leftover swag from past events, and we’re giving you the chance to snag a cool hat, shirt, or even a medal from previous races. If you missed out before (or just want another favorite), now’s your chance!

  So gather your family or friends, lace up those sneakers, and come out for a festive 1 Mile or 5K that lets you earn that second slice of pumpkin pie the fun way.

  Whether you’re a speedy sprinter, a casual stroller, or just in it for the fun swag, this race is all about laughter, community, and working off (or making room for) those holiday leftovers.

  Pie first. Run later.

  Location: Ann Morrison Park
