We call this the Crown Jewel for a reason. About 70% of the course in on the North Idaho Centennial Trail with awesome views of the sparking blue waters of Lake Coeur d'Alene. The half marathon course begins along same route as the 10K and then continues past the 10K turnaround. Runners will continue south on the North Idaho Centennial Trail and follow it all the way to the 6.55 mile turnaround at Osprey Point. There is one gradual but notable climb at Bennett Bay beginning at mile 4.6 up to mile 5.1 and you are rewarded with an aid station at the top. From mile 5.1 to 6.55 the course is mostly downhill. The course returns along the same route in reverse.....so yes, for every uphill there is a downhill. This course difficulty is rated as moderate because of the distance and the hills described above.

IMPORTANT: The 7:30am Half Marathon Early Start runners are required to finish in 4.5 hours. If you plan to finish in under 4 hours, DO NOT use the Early Start option as road crossings and aid stations will not be available at the earlier times. The 8:00am Half Marathon start runners are required to finish in 4 hours. USATF Course Number ID22005LAB.

The 10K course is approved as a Bloomsday Run Second Seed qualifier. The 10K course follows the same route as the 5K (except you will not do a 1/3 mile loop in the park) and then continues past the 5K turnaround. After about 100 yards you come to the North Idaho Centennial Trail. Runners will head south on the North Idaho Centennial Trail and follow it all the way to the 3.1 mile turnaround just past Silver Beach. The course gently climbs at mile 2.1 to the Potlatch Hill Rd overpass at mile 2.5 and then is mostly downhill to the turnaround. The course returns along the same route in reverse. Enjoy the sweeping views of Lake Coeur d'Alene between Potlatch Hill Rd and Silver Beach!  This course difficulty is rated as easy with one moderate hill and is recommended for ages 13 and up.

The 5K course begins with a 1/3 mile loop inside McEuen Park and then heads south through lovely neighborhood streets and slightly downhill to Sanders Beach.
