Based on a cartoon by Idaho's own Steve Moore, you begin and end at the same time - the start and finish line are one in the same.  This event will feature all of the trappings of a marathon, only without the running.  You will receive a bib number, have water cups handed to you as you cross the finish line, and be treated with fresh fruit and massages when you finish - just like the big marathons.  After the race is over (which is right away), you will be entertained by professional cartoonists, music, food trucks and refreshments...and even award presentations (you will be getting a first place ribbon so make sure you get your picture on the winner's stand!).  This is a family friendly event, and all proceeds go to veterans being supported by the Wyakin Foundation (www.wyakin.org).   Virtual event: Can't make it to Boise to celebrate with us?

Participants will run or hike a challenging 6.2-mile course or a 2.9-mile out-and-back course around two adjacent, symmetrical volcanic pit craters, about 8 miles northwest of Mountain Home, Idaho.

Who was SueB? A vivacious, intelligent woman who is missed dearly every day. February 9, 1955 – April 4, 2008Susan Elaine Brubaker Newby died in 2008 during a mysterious horseback riding incident.

Because the burros were carrying supplies, the miners could not ride the animals and so they would walk, leading the donkey. Burro races are held throughout small towns in Colorado,
