The YMCA Easter Run

Lace up your running shoes and hop into spring at the inaugural YMCA Easter Run, set to take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in beautiful Boise, ID. This exciting new event offers a refreshing 5K or a fun 1-mile run, perfect for participants of all ages and abilities looking to embrace fitness and community. The scenic course winds along the iconic Boise Greenbelt, providing a flat and fast route ideal for both competitive runners aiming for a personal best and families seeking a delightful outdoor experience.

What truly sets the YMCA Easter Run apart is its unique, interactive egg hunt along the course. As you run, keep an eye out for special eggs, each containing a number redeemable for exciting prizes at the finish line, adding an extra layer of fun to your race day. Starting and finishing at Ann Morrison Park, the event kicks off at 10:00 AM, with packet pickup conveniently available the day before at Bandanna Running & Walking, or on race morning.

Typical race day conditions in early April offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 59°F and lows around 38°F, accompanied by a low 6% chance of precipitation. This new tradition from the Treasure Valley Family YMCA promises a vibrant atmosphere, encouraging everyone to get active, celebrate the season, and enjoy a memorable day with friends and family.
