The Boise Trails Challenge just wrapped up. It's a competition to see how many trails you can finish in one month. It was started by Jason Delgadillo, an avid mountain biker and trails advocate who tragically passed away in a biking accident in May 2018. Since then, his challenge has grown massively and become a beloved annual event.
The Boise Trails Challenge Film tells the story of Jason and the challenge he started. It's premiering on Monday, July 25 at 7pm at the Egyptian Theatre. Watch the film trailer here.
