Race Day
SoleKIDs 5K
Here's everything you need for race morning — timeline, parade order, the course map, and parking. Please share this with your families.
Heads up
The Boise Half Marathon runs the same morning, starting at 9:00 AM — just before us. We'd LOVE for every SoleKID to line the starting chute and cheer those runners off the line before our own parade and race begin. Let's show those grown-ups who we are!

- 2.6th grade
- 3.5th grade
- 4.4th grade
- 5.3rd grade

- 8.K & Pre-K
Course map
The course is the same as last year, but flipped — we're running it in the opposite direction this time. Check it out below.
Parking
Parking is available at Julia Davis Park but limited near the start — the earlier you arrive, the better your spot.
A full race-day map with tent and activity locations is coming soon — check back here closer to race day.
