This certified course (USA T&F Certification Number: ID16002LAB) features a dramatic descent of over 1,500 feet across its 26.2-mile route, providing both scenic beauty and fast times for ambitious athletes.
The race begins in Pocatello's vibrant downtown area before winding through picturesque landscapes that showcase the region’s natural charm. As participants make their way along the course, they will encounter a mix of terrain that challenges even the most seasoned runners with its elevation changes and varied surfaces.
