Saturday’s annual St. Luke’s FitOne races close several Boise roads. Here’s what to know
The annual St. Luke’s FitOne event is Saturday in Boise, and as usual, it will necessitate a number of road and lane closures to accommodate the 5k, 10k and half-marathon races.
FitOne is a big fundraiser for St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital.
The road closures are altered a bit each year to avoid construction along the various routes, so it’s incumbent upon residents to plan accordingly.
