SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Friday, July 31st at 6:00 pm - The Hill Climb

This INTENSE event is great for hikers, peak baggers, nordic skiers and those who just love a good challenge. We'll be taking the shortest route to the top of Shafer Butte (the highest point in Boise), but shortest doesn’t mean easiest! The climb is a combination of terrain, but be prepared for lots of it to be STEEP!

• Challenge: Perfect for those who enjoy intense climbs.
• Terrain: A mix of steep sections leading to the summit.
• Fun: Camp out with the race team after this event.
