The Jackass Half Marathon race in 2025 was very well organized and fun again! Have done the last 4 years now and definitely a repeat. The course is very scenic from Wallace to Kellogg with aid stations well stocked. The volunteers were out in force cheering everyone on. Thank you for a great race again !
Love it, do it every year!

It is the best atmosphere from start to finish. The start line with the grassy field is sooo nice! Everyone is excited and happy; the volunteers are so awesome! They are kind and excited for everyone. It is a fun race to get a good time, but it also feels relaxed. The finish line is fun, great snacks. You get to relax and enjoy your beer 🙂 My only point for consideration is the t shirts- the ability to choose your color is cool, but probably not something that is super important to me. The process for picking up the shirt could be improved logistically; they had it set up by groups alphabetically, some letters of first names are far less common so that helper was standing around when they could have just helped more people in line. Maybe spread the t shirts out further down the street like bloomsday so there is more room for the workers in the tent to get shirts for runners. But all in all, I was hanging out in the sun, eating snacks and waiting in line which I was not mad about- just some ideas. We will be back next year, it is one of my favorite things to do all year!
Always My Top Race Recommendation

This is a beautiful & fun point-to-point race. Finisher shirts you get to customize, medals made by the local high school shop class, beautiful fall foliage, fun crowd support and delicious beer at the end, this race is always a must for me. The course is great for all levels as it’s primarily on a decline with the exception of one out & back loop in the middle and the last almost mile. It offers enough of a challenge to make you work for a PR and make it worth it once you cross that finish line. Register early to save your spot because this race sells out quick!
First-timer, now I’m hooked!

The hill near the end of the course will come and bite you in the end! It was lots of fun, mainly flat and downhill running until near the finish line. Would highly recommend this race to anyone beginning or trying to PR.
Great race, smooth course, great people

Beautiful course along the river and small towns. That hill at the end was killer. Love the bus out courses so it isn’t the out and back style course. Well staffed and all the volunteers were great. Small towns feel is a bonus.

I loved this race. From the signup, to the social media build up, to the race week and the day before, it was excellent. Race morning went as smooth as you would want. The course is on a beautiful paved path running through trees with a gentle downhill that you’ll hardly notice. The finish (albeit the most challenging part) had spectators out to motivate you with a finish line that had energy and swag. Loved the idea of picking out our own shirt colors with upgrade options for long sleeve or sweatshirts. 10/10 would recommend this race to anyone who wants a fun race to travel to. Wallace and Kellogg are both great small towns with enough to do to make a mini-vacation out of it.

I didn’t think I’d ever be a marathon runner. This race has changed my life. It was SO well produced and SO. MUCH. FUN. From check in to aid stations to finish line swag and festivities, I loved every minute. Will definitely be returning.

Its a beautiful mostly downhill course, with a couple good hill pulls. The weather is usually chillier in the morning but will warm up once the sun comes out for a little bit, making it perfect running weather. The swag bags are kinda meh, but the beer, tshirts and medals are always super fun! However, the medals rope this year was very small, couldn’t put it around my head which was odd I thought. Aid stations were always full of water and gatorade, but only one station had goo so id suggest bringing your own snacks! Overall 3.75/5 🙂 Will be running it again next year!
Favorite race of the year!

This was my first 5 k and first Jackass race and omg! What a blast from bib pick up at the Beanery, great social media presence and fantastic energy along the race from volunteers cheering you on.
Wallace & Kellog are wonderful small towns but this was not a small race! And the out pour of community support was so heart felt! I cant wait to do this again and ill be training for the half next year!
Thanks to everyone for their hard work!!

This race was amazing! Themed aid stations, beautiful scenery, a very active and engaging atmosphere.
Race planning and directions were communicated well, with maps, detailed itineraries, and a responsive director.
The course itself is beautiful, good paved trail, well marked, safe (especially at crossings- which were all staffed with flaggers). Hill 1 is easy, the second hill tests your determination!
The volunteers on this route really make the race! Costumes, themed aid stations, encouraging signs, sidewalk chalk, bells, leis, juice boxes— it’s a fun party atmosphere!
At the end of the race, the announcer brought laughs, T-shirts, medals and Nally dill pickles awaited finishers.
I’m already rounding up friends for next year’s event!

This year’s Jackass half marathon was fantastic! The enthusiasm from every volunteer, aid station, finish line cheer, and runner is unmatched. Even though the course is along the interstate, the scenery is enough to take your mind off pounding the pavement. I highly recommend it to all runners!!

The race director and volunteers did a fantastic job with this event! Packet pickup was easy, shuttles to start line and finish line ran smoothly, they provided baked goods and coffee pre-race and lots of snack foods after (chips, string cheese, candy, and a free beer). The water stop volunteers were fabulous as well, and it always makes me happy to see little kids volunteering with their parents.
Love the early start for walkers like me. Beautiful flat course except for an incline around mile 7 and small hill that went for about 3 blocks around mile 12.5. Lots of cheering for everyone at the finish line. Happy that I pre-ordered my shirt so I didn’t have to wait in the long line for shirt pickup at the finish. The shirts were nice wven though not dri-fit, and the medals are unique. Loved the tiny jackasses they handed out as we got off the shuttles at the starting line.
This is a must-do event in Idaho!
