The Experience

First run in 2002 and now celebrating its 25th edition, the Coeur d'Alene Half Marathon has become a fixture in the Pacific Northwest racing calendar. With a growing field nearing 1,000 finishers—and runners arriving from 41 states—it’s a race that combines small-town charm with a surprisingly broad draw. About 17 percent of participants return in later years, a loyalty that speaks to the experience.

The course starts at McEuen Park and winds through Coeur d'Alene’s downtown streets before tracing the shores of the sparkling lake. The terrain is paved and gently rolling, offering scenic views without punishing climbs. The finish loops back to the park, where runners are greeted by a community that knows how to celebrate.
