"Good Job Spuddy!" (about: 2002)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Nice marathon! Great scenery along the bike paths, parks, neighborhoods and golf courses of Boise. Smooth packet pickup, registration and transportation to and from the host hotel - Holiday Inn. The volunteer support was excellent. Lots of water, Gatorade, power bars and gel at the many aid stations. Great food after the finish. The best marathon T-shirt!! Be careful of the course markers. A few opportunities to go the wrong way or repeat a loop. | |

"Beautiful natural course along river walk parkway" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 This is a small marathon, the course starts up in the mountains above Boise and follows the river down into town. In town, the course follows a gorgeous green belt and river walk. Canadian Geese were everywhere along the course, we even saw a family of foxes. Bring your mountain bikes to ride along the greenbelt with your family and support crew the following day. | |

"Nice, Small Marathon" (General Comments)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 1 I like this marathon. Course scenery is beautiful. It runs along a nice bike path along a river. Aid stations every 3 miles. No expo. The organizers make up for the small size with enthusiasm. Excellent bus service to marathon start. The best post race party I've been to. |
