About

YMCA Famous Idaho Potato Marathon is held over May 15 and 16, 2027, in Boise, Idaho, organised by the YMCA of Treasure Valley with the Idaho Potato Commission. The marathon (26.2 mi) starts at 7:00 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 mi) at 9:00 a.m., the 10K (6.2 mi) at 10:00 a.m. and the 5K at 11:00 a.m., on a course that follows the river.

The staggered starts mean the shorter races are run in progressively warmer air — if you are on the 5K at 11:00 a.m., treat it as a warm-weather race rather than a cool-morning one. River-path courses are typically flat and sheltered, which makes the marathon here a reasonable place to attempt a qualifying time, provided you have rehearsed your fuelling on a long run at goal pace.
