Course & Travel Notes

You'll want to fly into Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, which is just 5.3 miles from the race venue—a quick trip to get you settled in this charming Idaho city. The YMCA Harrison Classic Kids Run takes place in early October when Boise enjoys pleasant early fall weather, with average highs around 65°F and lows near 42°F, so pack layers since you'll be racing at 3:00 PM at an elevation of 2,730 feet. There's only about a 19% chance of rain that time of year, so you're likely to have decent conditions, and with sunrise at 7:46 AM, you'll have plenty of daylight to enjoy the area before the afternoon start.
