About the Spirit of Magic Valley Half Marathon - 10K - 5K - Kids 1 Mile
All distances run along the Snake River Canyon Rim Trail, starting and finishing at Shoshone Falls. The route passes the Evel Knievel jump site and the Perrine Bridge, with canyon views stretching out for most of the course. The trail is out-and-back in shape, so you see the same landmarks twice from different directions. Aid stations with water and Gatorade are spread throughout.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at a sporting goods store on Fillmore Street. Someone else can grab your bib if you are not able to come. The kids' mile welcomes strollers and parents, with a local high school cross country runner leading the group out and back.

The Spirit of Magic Valley Half Marathon - 10K - 5K - Kids 1 Mile has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
