It is rainy in Boise, but that hasn’t stopped people from marching in for this race. A representative from Boise State university recreation services just confirmed to me that 2,200 people have registered.

We will be updating you with facts, opportunities to give, restaurant promot
ions and donations, and other colorful commentary before, during, and after the race.
Racers are challenged to beat Boise State University head football coach Chris Petersen to the finish line while benefiting deserving students.
The race helps raise money for Boise State’s need-based scholarship fund. To date, the Beat Coach Pete Scholarship Run/Walk has raised more than $138,000 in emergency funding.
Last year, there were 2,515 participants with 1,062 beating Coach Pete. The race started in front of the recreation center and ended inside Bronco Stadium. Coach Pete donated $5,310 to the general scholarship fund for Boise State students.
