Join us for a wonderful weekend of trails, nature and good vibes!
2 days of fun! Come for the uphill on Friday night and stay for the 5, or 10 mile on Saturday morning!
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.
Friday – 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!
The race finish line is at the summit of Shafer Butte, so we will also guide runners on the quickest route back down. You are expected to get down yourself.
*NOTE: We are working on a course that will not require a mandatory warmup from the start area. Please stay tuned for additional information.
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 – 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!
The race starts at Bogus Basin’s Frontier Nordic Lodge.
Saturday – 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.
The race starts at Bogus Basin’s Frontier Nordic Lodge.
All 5 mile and 10 mile finishers receive a t-shirt and a custom-designed medal.
