Packet Pick will be held at Big Al’s in Meridian on Thursday, May 30th from noon-7 pm.  Please remember that this is the only option to pick up your race packet. Join us at Big Al’s to collect your bib number, and your child’s t-shirt and designate a colored flag to meet your child in the Finish Line area.

There is no race day registration or packet pick-up available. 

All racers must be at the Boise Depot between 9-9:30 am on Saturday, June 3. The drop-off lane at Eastover Terraces closes at 9:30 am. There is no registration or packet pick-up on race day.  You can get back down to the Capitol and Cecil D Andrus Park via Crescent Rim/Latah/Americana or Crescent Rim/Peasley/Rose Hill/Visit/Capitol Blvd. (please note – this route will be CLOSED after 9:40 am, as the police will close northbound traffic at University Drive).

Race Drop at the Boise Depot: Drop off is just that, drop off. Drivers need to stay in their vehicles and allow the Race Volunteers to escort their racers from the car to the proper starting area. Please do not get out of your vehicle.

Tip: Take your pre-race pictures at home!

Race Bib: Bib numbers need to be pinned to the front of the body on the outermost layer of clothing. Do not exchange bib numbers among siblings or friends, each child’s name, emergency contact, and color of flag where the child is meeting their family will be on the back of the bib to help with confusion.

This race is a chip-timed event, on the back of the bib is a timing chip. Please do not bind or remove the timing chip. 

Shortened/Adaptive Race Course: 

The Capitol Classic encourages kids with all abilities to participate. There is an adaptive course for kids with physical or mental disabilities that starts at 9:30 prior to the main race. This race will start at the corner of Capitol and Idaho. For questions on adaptive course, please contact Kate Mason at 208-367-4250

At the START, parking access for adaptive participants and volunteers is from Ruby Street.

At the FINISH, there is parking in the downtown area near the Capitol Building and Cecil D Andrus Park. Remember to push the meter for your free 20 minutes, meters are running on weekends in the downtown area.

Check out this link for the Park Mobile App, maps of meter spots, and parking garages in the area. City of Boise Parking Info>>

The Finish Line Celebration will be in Cecil D Andrus Park. All children will receive a medal in the finish line area and be ushered into the park to reconnect with their families. There will be water and a healthy snack for all finishers. Then you can visit booths to learn about our Race Sponsors and fun summer activities.

How do I find my child? What happens at the end of the Race?
Giant colored flags in red, blue, green, and pink will be at the Finish Celebration for all to see. We recommend that you choose a color with your child and designate that color of the flag for your meeting place.

We ask that parents and guardians stay off the race course and do not enter the finish line area. Please remember the finish line is exciting, be patient while you wait for your child to make it to your designated meeting spot.

Tip: We will have markers at packet pick up so you can mark the color on the back of your child’s bib with that color (a little reminder for them, in case they forget).
