Directions: This information is for new runners or people visiting
Boise from out-of-town. If you've ever seen Boise you probably noticed the
foothills to the north. These are covered with lots of great trails, probably
over 100miles of trails from beginner to advanced (Robie creek!) To get all the
information about these trails and highly detailed maps visit one of the local
running shops or the downtown YMCA (runners mecca) and get the Ridge to Rivers
trail guide. Best $5 you'll spend.
Trail Information: Stop by Bandanna Running (I think its on
6th street downtown) or The Athletes Foot on State St. just west of the capital.
The YMCA is also on State just west of the capital.
Miscellaneous Information: A favorite local race is called "The Race
to Robie Creek" its a 1/2marathon with a very serious vertical rise on dirt
roads (although it gets so steep I don't think cars would want to drive this).
The race is held in the spring after most of the snow has melted.
