Description
We’re Back And Ready to Run for a Great Cause!
Kick off your fall event calendar with a fun-filled morning for the whole family, all in support of The Literacy Project of North Idaho. A volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping adults in our community improve their literacy and English language skills. 100% of race proceeds go directly to support our learners and literacy programs.

📍 Course Info
All races begin in Coeur d'Alene City Park and follow a scenic out-and-back route along the Idaho Centennial Trail toward Post Falls. The 5K and 10K routes feature a turnaround just before the Highway 95 bridge, with water stations along the way.
The Kids Dash will take place within the park on a fun, safe loop course perfect for little runners.
Why We Run:
Did you know 1 in 5 adults nationwide struggles with basic literacy? That means reading a job application, understanding a prescription, or helping their child with homework can be a daily challenge. At The Literacy Project of North Idaho, we believe literacy changes lives. Join us in making that change possible—one step, one book, and one learner at a time.
