Race Information
The course is 50 kilometers from point to point (31.07 miles) from Council to Middle, Idaho, along the scenic Weiser River Trail. The trail is a railroad bed that has been converted to a National Recreation Trail. The trail surface consists of stony railroad ballast, dirt, and some paved crossings as you come into towns. The trail runs alongside the Weiser River, through canyons, and across open farmland. There is very little elevation change on the course. The course is ideal for this early season event and excellent for runners of any ability – beginners to veterans. In addition to the solo 50K, there is also a 50K relay -- no excuses not to run the race! The Relay is open to teams of runners from 2-5 people.
