Course & Travel Notes
The Boise River Marathon kicks off early at 6:30 AM on May 2nd, 2027, which means you'll be starting just as the sun rises at 6:36 AM—so pack a headlamp just in case. Boise's elevation of 2,644 feet is moderate, so most runners won't need much acclimatization, but it's worth noting if you're coming from sea level. Fly into Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, which is conveniently only 7.4 miles from the race venue, and plan for typical early May weather with highs around 72°F and lows near 48°F—though there's about a 27% chance of rain that day, so bring a light rain jacket to be safe.
