City of Trees Marathon - 2008 Race and Results
In Boise, Idaho this weekend, the City of Trees Marathon / Half Marathon 2008, which is the final marathon / half marathon of the City of Trees Racing Association racing year, is in the books. Luckily, the rain that hit us here on Saturday subsided long enough to allow the race to happen with typical October weather for Boise.
The City of Trees Marathon was an official USATF certified race, sorry guys, no headphones or music. Here are a couple maps, one of the City of Trees Marathon, and one of the City of Trees Half Marathon.

One thing I noticed going through the results is that the winner of the City of Trees Marathon for the guys was David Derkacs, which if you may remember, was the winner of the Fit for Life Half Marathon that we interviewed after that race a few months ago. Looks like he is continuing to dominate distance racing in and around Boise.
Since the marathon is basically a tour of most of Boise, I thought it was a pretty good idea that the City of Trees Racing Association puts on a guided race tour on Saturday, that also doubles as a tour of Boise. That’s a very generous thing to do. Looking at the race registrations, there were a lot of people from out of town doing the race, glad they allowed them the opportunity to see our great town a little closer and see why we all enjoy living here.
