Dirty Dog Trail Marathon and Half Marathon

The Dirty Dog Trail Marathon and Half Marathon, held in Boise, Idaho, takes runners through the scenic Ridge to Rivers Trail System in the Boise foothills. Now in its ninth year, the marathon features a challenging course with significant climbs and fast descents on single-track trails. A special highlight is the "Hard Guy" climb, where the first man and woman to reach the summit win a $100 prize.

The half marathon offers a mix of single-track trails and dirt roads, suitable for first-time trail runners. Both races include multiple well-stocked aid stations supported by enthusiastic volunteers, providing a vibrant and supportive atmosphere.
