The Race to Robie Creek® is held the third Saturday each April, starting at High Noon. Some know it as the long climb to Aldape Summit. Others see it as a “rite of spring” that arrives each year in the Boise foothills. It has been proclaimed “The Toughest Race in the Northwest.” But no matter what label you put on it, the annual Race to Robie Creek® is a challenge to all who dare to participate.
With the help of generous sponsors, hundreds of volunteers, and to the benefit of numerous local charities, we always offer a fun, slightly irreverent, top quality, half-marathon race — with an amazing post-race party and entertainment. Entries are limited, so we invite all runners, trotters, walkers or crawlers who feel they have it in them to take a shot at participating in a now legendary event.

I love this race, but it doesn’t matter how many times I run it, IT NEVER GETS EASIER! 9 miles uphill is a lot of uphill, and 4 miles of steep downhill after don’t really help. That won’t stop me from running again, because when you finish a race like this you feel amazing!!!
Just as tough as I remembered...

I was coming off a major injury and had just been cleared to run again when I registered for this one. I maybe should have waited another year. The course seemed especially brutal this year and I finished with blood streaming down my heels, and a wicked sunburn. Still, I felt really great about having finished such a difficult race so early into my recovery. Looking forward to running again!
