The races on the Boise Greenbelt are a mixed bag. It’s great to have this area without cars to complete a race and it’s a scenic river. That said, it’s not a closed course, so there’s a constant battle to avoid bikes, pups, kiddos, etc. Additionally, the Greenbelt can start to feel stale after a few races out there. This particular race is pretty straightforward as it starts and ends at Payette Brewing while completing a double loop. Although the repetition is a bit tedious, it avoids “some” of the tricky turns on some of the other races here. The challenges on turns in this race are just the overlapping races. Logistically, having multiple races on the course at once makes sense, but it can be a challenge in the final mile or two of a marathon when trying to weave strollers and walkers on a 5k. As for swag, it ok. The medal is pretty plain, although very large. The race shirt is nice, but that’s pretty much it. You don’t need more than that, but I don’t hate quirky sponsors! The aid stations are frequent enough but I had some issues finding water at 3 consecutive stations (1st thought it was water, second wasn’t sure what she had and 3rd had a death grip on the cup). I think I was a bit unlucky, but be prepared. I’ll underscore the people were awesome. Very friendly, helpful, and definitely doing their best to make the day good for everyone. Overall, good race, but not one that has that “one thing” to remember. Suggestions from me include: 1) perhaps a band or announcer at the finish to liven it up. 2) maybe a double sided photo op area (or multiple). There was a very long line for this. A few more “pros”…The timing loops were great. Some races don’t have enough, this one had tons! A few good vendors (I’d like to see even more). Overall attitude of all.volunteers. Just outstanding.

Best of the Greenbelt!

My favorite parts of the race:
– Pre-race was a good setup, lots of bathrooms, easy start, plentiful parking.
– Very scenic route, especially if you’ve run all the other green belt options.
– Swag is cool; medal, shirt, Boise 4 add-ons.
– Support was sufficient and friendly. Typical water, electrolytes, and occasional gels.
Areas for improvement:
– Race merging – Most of the Boise races do this and it’s often frustrating. It’s the practice of starting the races in a sequence that has marathoners, halfs, 10Ks, 5Ks, all finishing at the same time. I’m certain it helps coordinate volunteer support, but it is terrible if you’re in the last few miles of a marathon and you’re forced to navigate the sea of strollers, walking walls, kiddos, pets, etc. Those folks deserve a good time too, but it’s less than optimal placing them in the path of the longer distances especially during those final crucial miles.
– Course directions – generally speaking, this was decent, especially in the first 20 miles as I think there were so many signs, flags and helpers, the course was like following the Yellow Brick Road. It faded quite a bit in the final miles leading me to one wrong turn which I was able to remedy with a short backtrack, but in the last mile or two, there was also a helper that had a sign saying “Full” with an arrow pointing in the wrong direction. Ultimately they cased me down and got me back on track, but why?!? That was some straight Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote shenanigans. It didn’t ruin n the experience, but definitely something I hope they look at for next year.
– Finish line – It’s a bit chaotic. They have all races finishing at the same time so you are likely to run into a horde of people and you’ll need to swim through to find medal and nourishment areas. There’s also family and friends in this area, which I kinda like, but it increases the volume 2-fold, so perhaps the first 25-yards of finish could be a runners only area? It’s only an issue if you are performance focused as I suspect if you are in it for the race party vibe, this is probably a plus. Overall, good race that could be great with some small tweaks!

Definitely a good race! Packet pickup was easy, not a full fledged expo, in fact, really just get your number, shirt, and some granola. Out of town is a bit hard because race day pickup wasn’t available. Also limited eating options in town, so consider Idaho Falls for that. They bus you out to the start with buses leaving between 0500 and 0530. In reality, the busses all left at 0530 or after. Our bus got lost and barely made it in time. It seemed like they had a decent volume of bathrooms and refreshments, but our bus could only dart to the bathroom and hope. Once the race started, it was enjoyable. No big hills, but lots of rolling. Lots of dirt roads through farm areas. Great support by volunteers throughout. Water, Gatorade, and gels were plentiful. Seemed like there was a time validator every mile or two (never seen that many). Finish had great medal and snacks…lots of fruit. Massages, time tickets, age awards, PR gong, just lots of fun. As mentioned, a few hiccups, but didn’t detract from the race itself. It also appeared like they had lots of photographers on the course, but a few days after, and I still don’t know if photos are going to be available. I would run this again. Also, tomorrow is the 50th anniversary, so that will be the one to do!

Pre race pickup was ok. It was fast enough, there were some good options, but vendors were sparse. Additionally, paid parking is kinda lame (they fix this on race day via a pass). The swag is just ok. On one hand, the shirt was cool and the medal is potato themed, but beyond that, not much. The bib is ok, but not the name variety. As for race-day, this is where it comes up short. They use the Boise Greenbelt, which is one of the worst venues I’ve run on. As a place to do a private jog, or to take the kids, or walk the dog, maybe scooter around, it’s wonderful, but part of the problem is that all of this is present when you are running, and this makes it challenging. I was actually struck by a scooter during my marathon effort, and although it was more of a nuisance than a significant impact, it shouldn’t happen. It’s one of those races where it’s so congested over the first 3 miles, you’ll either be jumping curbs or walking behind groups out for a stroll. Once you get through, it’s not a particularly challenging course, but as stated, you need to stay alert as all manner of bike, scooter, etc stand ready to surprise you on the many twists and turns. Fortunately, water, electrolytes, and aid was well equipped, so that’s not a concern (and the volunteers were pretty great)! But then towards the end of the race they inexplicably mix all races together (full/half/10k/5k). This is an absolute mess, I even saw some folks getting turned around in the confusion. Not ideal. The end was a bit lackluster this year, no reading names of finishers, just the medal and snacks. With all the beautiful area around the state, it may be better if they get this race off the Greenbelt in years to come. Love that it’s a charity, love that there were enough bathrooms, loved the on course volunteers, loved the giant potato. An Idaho potato themed race has so much potential, but to me, it was still a bit undercooked.
