Lace up for an unforgettable journey at the Falls2Falls Run on April 25, 2026, in the breathtaking landscape of Twin Falls, Idaho. Offering Half Marathon (13.1M), 5.2M, and 5K distances, this volunteer-driven event promises stunning canyon-to-lake views along the Snake River and its majestic waterfalls, including the famous Shoshone Falls and "Twin Falls" Falls. The mostly paved routes feature engaging rolling hills, notable climbs, and exhilarating downhill sections, culminating in a celebratory finish at Dierkes Lake. One participant described it as a "Great course with lots to see", highlighting the rewarding balance of challenging ascents and gravity-assisted descents.

The Half Marathon and 5K courses begin at River Christian Fellowship, winding through the Wild Rose neighborhood before descending towards Shoshone Falls. Runners then head towards "Twin Falls" Falls before returning to the lakeside finish. For the 5.2M distance, participants are conveniently bused from Dierkes Lake to their start near "Twin Falls" Falls, enjoying a course that incorporates Falls Ave and the Shoshone Falls grade. Aid stations, spaced approximately every two miles along the longer routes, provide water and snacks, with restrooms available at both start areas and along the course. Typical race day conditions in late April offer ideal running weather, with highs around 62°F and lows near 36°F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets the Falls2Falls Run apart is its intimate atmosphere, capped at 500 participants, ensuring a well-supported and community-focused experience. Every finisher receives a medal, and proceeds from this event directly benefit local trail improvement projects and community initiatives in the Magic Valley. Come for the balanced challenge and stunning vistas, and contribute to a fantastic cause that enhances the local outdoor experience.
