Coeur d'Alene Marathon

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COEUR D’ALENE MARATHON OFFERS SCENIC COURSE STARTING AND FINISHING AT RIVERSTONE

The Coeur d’Alene Marathon/Half Marathon offers one of the most spectacular events in the country. At an elevation of 2200 feet above sea level, the resort community of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, resting on the shores of spectacular Lake Coeur d’Alene, welcomes visitors to a plethora of vacation and recreational activities. The welcoming community and natural beauty have drawn events such as the Ironman USA Triathlon Coeur d'Alene, held here each year in June.

The North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation is excited for another year of Riverstone’s support as the title sponsor for the Coeur D’Alene Marathon. Starting and finishing on Riverstone's Main Street, the 2010 race will feature a scenic out-and-back course throughout our beautiful community.

North Idaho enjoys a true four-season climate with cool mountain evenings. May’s average temperature is 69 degrees while June jumps to 76. Average precipitation during “Marathon time” is 2 inches per month.

The race venue at Riverstone offers numerous opportunities for the entire family. From the spectator friendly course to a 14 screen cinema, restaurants and shopping there's something for everyone.

Coeur d'Alene is always abuzz with activity, including art shows, athletic events, outdoor fun, and an endless list of things to see and do. In addition to the many local activities, Silverwood theme park is located just a few miles to the north, and many marathon participants enjoy the relaxing excitement of a day with the family during their stay.

Accommodations in Coeur d'Alene range from quaint bed and breakfast hideaways to guest ranches to a world-class resort, the world-famous Coeur d'Alene Resort, an 18-story
architectural masterpiece at the edge of the lake.

For your meals, whether your tastes lean toward fresh Northwest salmon, Idaho potato pizza, huckleberry pancakes, or a juicy Priest River buffalo steak, there's something for everyone. From award-winning chefs to sidewalk vendors, the finest steaks to world famous hamburgers, Coeur d’Alene has it all.

The Coeur d’Alene Marathon/Half Marathon is an event, not only for the many participants who return year after year, but for the entire family. We’ll see you in May.
