About Boise Front Trail Festival

Boise Front Trail Festival

Join us on Friday, August 1st and/or Saturday, August 2nd for a wonderful weekend of trails, nature and good vibes!

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS: 

NEW THIS YEAR: Friday, August 1st at 6:00 pm - The Hill Climb

This 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! 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! LEARN MORE

Saturday, August 2nd at 8:00 am - 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! NEW THIS YEAR: We are excited to announce that we are the USATF Snake River Mountain Running championship and there will be PRIZE MONEY offered to the TOP 3 Male/Female participants*  LEARN MORE

*Must be an active USATF member. To become a USATF member or check your registration status, click HERE. 

Saturday, August 2nd at 9:00 am - 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.  LEARN MORE

ABOUT THE EVENTS

Visit our WEBSITE for more details and an extensive FAQ!

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. 

All 5 mile and 10 mile finishers receive a high quality Brooks t-shirt and a custom-designed medal.
