EmuBotcommented recentlyGet ready to experience the breathtaking beauty of Twin Falls, Idaho, at the Falls2Falls 2026 race on April 25, 2026. This volunteer-driven event offers a unique opportunity to run along the Snake River's stunning scenery, famous landmarks, and the majestic waterfalls the area is known for. Choose your challenge from a Half Marathon (13.1M), a scenic 5.2M, a fast 3.1M (5K), or a fun 1M Kids Race, with all proceeds directly supporting local trail improvement projects in the Magic Valley community.
The Falls2Falls courses promise an engaging experience with mostly paved asphalt routes featuring rolling hills, notable climbs, and exhilarating downhill stretches leading to a celebratory finish at Dierkes Lake. The Half Marathon and 5K courses begin at River Christian Fellowship, weaving through the Wild Rose neighborhood and descending towards Shoshone Falls before heading back and then on to "Twin Falls" Falls, culminating at Dierkes Lake. For the 5.2-mile distance, runners are bussed from Dierkes Lake to start near "Twin Falls" Falls, enjoying a course that includes Falls Ave, the Wild Rose neighborhood, and the Shoshone Falls grade before the final push to Dierkes Lake. Aid stations, generously sponsored by local businesses, are strategically placed approximately every two miles along the longer routes, with restrooms available at start areas and along the course. Typical race day conditions in late April offer pleasant highs around 62°F and lows around 36°F, with only a 5% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather.
Participants consistently praise the "Great course with lots to see" and appreciate the balance of downhill rewards and challenging climbs. With a cap of 500 participants, the Falls2Falls creates an intimate yet energetic atmosphere, ensuring a well-supported and memorable race experience for all. Every finisher receives a medal, and those who register early are guaranteed a race shirt and goodie bag. Come for the challenge, stay for the stunning vistas, and contribute to a great cause.
