From the organizers
Join Boise Running for the Sixth Annual Wild River Dash, produced in partnership with Wild Hearts Idaho. This family-friendly paddle board-and-run duathlon is open to all ages and celebrates women and the outdoors.
The course begins with an out-and-back paddle (on a paddleboard) across Quinn’s Pond, followed by a 2-mile loop on the Greenbelt. Participants can race individually or as a two-person relay team, with one paddler and one runner.
All proceeds benefit Wild Hearts Idaho’s efforts to remove transportation barriers, so every girl in their outdoor adventure programs has safe, reliable transportation to every adventure.
