Course Info: All races begin in Coeur d'Alene City Park and follow a scenic out-and-back route along the Idaho Centennial Trail toward Post Falls. The 5K route features a turnaround just before the Highway 95 bridge, with water stations along the way. The Kids Dash will take place within the park on a fun, safe loop course perfect for little runners.

Why We Run: Did you know 1 in 5 adults nationwide struggles with basic literacy? That means reading a job application, understanding a prescription, or helping their child with homework can be a daily challenge. At The Literacy Project of North Idaho, we believe literacy changes lives. Join us in making that change possible—one step, one book, and one learner at a time.
