750 Mountain Cove Road
Boise, ID 83702
USA
Starting Time/Headlamps – The race starts at 6:00 a.m., and it will be dark for approximately 1.5 – 2 hours. Therefore, you will need to wear a headlamp at the start of the race. The trail will be marked – and you will be able to shine your light to see the markings – but it is mighty dark out there before the sun comes up.
Course – The 2015 race will start in the parking lot by Fort Boise Community Center / Military Reserve / Dog park on Mountain Cover Rd. After a short run up Mountain Cove Road, the rest of the course is run on scenic single-track trails with 2 short segments on dirt forest service roads.
The course contains multiple uphill and downhill sections. The terrain is of moderate difficulty, providing a challenge to runners, but not too hard for first-timers.
