On 5 September 2026, the Pocatello Marathon returns to Idaho with an array of distances for all levels: the full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, 1-mile and a 0.2-mile fun run. The full marathon route boasts a net drop of over 1,500 feet through the scenic Portneuf Valley, allowing for fast finishing times and Boston Marathon qualifying potential. The race weekend features early morning starts (6:15 AM for the full marathon), pacing teams, chip timing, and scenic vistas of mountains and rivers. With participant limits in place to preserve experience quality, the event balances competitive aspirations and community atmosphere. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, running for fun, or joining walks and family runs, Pocatello offers a memorable September destination.
