The Big Race at Tamarack
October 8, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Tamarack, ID US 83615
Join us for the inaugural year of The Big Race at Tamarack! This trail run (consisting of a 5K, 10K and the Big Vertical Challenge) benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Idaho.
The Big Race will be followed by a free outdoor concert!
Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Funds raised directly benefit matching kids and teens (Littles) with adult mentors (Bigs) throughout Southwest Idaho.
The 5K and 10K share the same start and finish line adjacent to the Village at Tamarack. Both courses begin on wide residential trails before transitioning to winding forest trails. The 10K takes you through scenic Forest Service land before getting back to the 5K course and onto a forested single-track trail nestled between the Osprey Meadows Golf Course and Lake Cascade. You’ll enjoy a beautiful tour of Tamarack, complete with expansive mountain and lake views and charming meadows.
Course may vary pending trail conditions.
Are you ready for something BIG? The BIG Vertical Challenge will be one of Idaho’s biggest vertical events. This is no ordinary trail race – no rolling downhills here, only lung-searing and leg-burning ascent for this two-tiered race. Enjoy beautiful views of Lake Cascade as you ascend 1,700 vertical feet to the first tier. And for those looking to take it to the next level, you have the option of continuing on to the second tier for a leg-wobbling total of 2,800 vertical feet, finishing at the top of the Tamarack Express lift!
