About the Event

Set against the stunning backdrop of Idaho's fall foliage, the Pocatello Marathon - Running the Gap offers runners an unforgettable marathon experience. This certified course (USA T&F Certification Number: ID16002LAB) features a dramatic descent of over 1,500 feet across its 26.2-mile route, providing both scenic beauty and fast times for ambitious athletes.
The race begins in Pocatello's vibrant downtown area before winding through picturesque landscapes that showcase the region’s natural charm. As participants make their way along the course, they will encounter a mix of terrain that challenges even the most seasoned runners with its elevation changes and varied surfaces. The certified status ensures that all times recorded here are recognized for major events like Boston and New York Marathons, making this race not only scenic but also significant in terms of qualification opportunities.
Runners can expect to be surrounded by a supportive community atmosphere throughout the event, from enthusiastic spectators lining the route to fellow participants pushing each other forward. The Pocatello Marathon - Running the Gap is more than just a run; it's an immersive experience that combines physical challenge with breathtaking scenery and a sense of accomplishment for all who take part.
