Coeur d'Alene Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k 2021

It is still a bit uncertain what the state of COVID-19 will be in May, 2021.  At this point we anticipate that spectators will be allowed to come support their runners in a physically distanced manner. The best way to support runners physically distanced will be to cheer them on along the course rather than in the start / finish area. Spectators are also encouraged to download the RaceJoy app which will allow you to send audible cheers to your runner and track them during the race.
