Foothills XC12K : Boise, Idaho
The Foothills XC12K is a trail running event scheduled for August 22, 2026, in the Boise Foothills. The event offers two measured trail distances that start and finish at the same location within the Fort Boise Park Military Reserve Trail System. Parking is recommended near the Fort Boise Community Center to avoid congestion at the start/finish area.
Available distances:
- 5K trail course
- 12K trail course
Participants may run or hike either distance. Packet pickup is available in the days before the event at multiple local running shops and there is limited race-day pickup for those who cannot collect packets in advance. Course maps are provided for both distances.
The 12K event includes cash prizes: $50 for first place in each division (male, female, non-binary) and $50 for King of the Mountain in each division. There will be a post-race award ceremony and a raffle after the event based on bib number. Results and photos from the 2026 race will be posted after race day.
Proceeds from this edition will benefit the Bogus Basin Nordic Team and support development of nordic skiing in the Treasure Valley. Weather and wet trail conditions may prompt changes to the course or date to protect the trails. Volunteer opportunities and a group volunteering program that donates back to organizations are part of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
