About the YMCA St. Patrick's Day Run
The course starts and finishes in Julia Davis Park, close to the band shell. Runners can choose a shorter mile option or one of the longer routes, both of which follow the river. The park setting keeps things open and easy to navigate, and the St. Patrick's Day theme means you will see plenty of green on the course.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at a local running and walking shop on Main Street in Boise. Race morning, the park gives you room to warm up and find your people before the start.
