YEAR 2 · 100% FREE · 100% WEIRD
OCT 16 · 6 PM
CAMEL’S BACK PARK, BOISE
The world’s first (and only) race that celebrates weirdness over speed. Run it, walk it, bike it, unicycle it, mountain-board it. Just finish however you want.
Running… Reimagined.
Other races worship speed. We worship rad. There’s no prize for fastest, just big prizes for the weirdest and love for everyone who finishes. Two courses, themed aid stations that make zero sense, a costume contest, bands and artists along the route, and an afterparty. All of it free.
Handmade Shirts
For everyone who signs up before the deadline. Groovy tie-dye style.
Start-Line Photo
Full professional portrait gallery of you in your glorious costume.
Costume Contest
Categories: Most Rad · Most Creative · Most Rando. Big prizes!
Weird Aid Stations
Bubbles, foam swords, finger traps, slinkies, and custom fuel.
Random Prizes
5th place and LAST place win big. Fastest wins absolutely nothing.
Born Weird.
We’re Sammy & Joel, a couple of lifelong weirdos who looked around and realized Boise’s freaks, fanatics and fantastical people didn’t have a home. Races were all pace charts and timing chips. So we made one where the costume matters more than the clock.
In 2025 we threw the very first Rad Rando Run. It poured rain, and you showed up anyway: soggy capes, dripping tutus, alien disco and all. This is our home for the beautifully strange, and you’re invited.

WELCOME TO THE RANDOVERSE
You can wear a pink tutu and sing Tiny Tim, vogue to an old Divine song, juggle on a unicycle, do a back flip on a mountain bike, grab some snacks with the kiddos, or bring your dog for moral support; just DON’T. BE. BLAND.
BEWARE THE SAD BLANDO
Sad Blando (n.): a person who shows up in plain running clothes, checks their pace, and says “I’m not really a costume person.”
🚨 SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:
• Matching gray athletic set
• Checking GPS watch every 30 seconds
• Staying home on a Friday night
THE CURE IS SIMPLE
Put on a costume. Any costume. A cape counts. A tutu counts. A cardboard box with giant googly eyes counts. Just don’t show up boring!
Cure me. Sign me up.THE RAD RANDOS IN ACTION

GOT QUESTIONS?
We have completely random answers. Or mostly helpful ones.
Is it really free?
Yes. No tickets, no registration fees, no hidden upcharges. Just show up.
Which course should I pick?
Pick the 4.20 for an easy cruise, or the 6.9 for a trail foothills run.
It starts at 6 PM. Will it be dark?
Yes, it gets dark quickly. Bring your headlamps, glow sticks, and neon lights!
Where do I park?
Camel’s Back park has parking, but biking or walking to the start is highly recommended.
Do I have to run?
Run, walk, crawl, roller-skate, or unicycle. Movement of any style is awesome.
Are kids welcome?
Absolutely. Bring the little randos!
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, leashed dogs are highly welcome. Costumes for dogs are extremely encouraged.
Do I have to wear a costume?
Costumes are extremely encouraged. Don’t be a sad blando! Even a simple cape works.
Is it timed? Who wins?
Zero timing chips. Only the most spectacular and weirdest outfits win prizes.
What if it rains?
We run! Rain only makes the costumes and makeup more beautifully messy.
What happens after?
We gather back at Camel’s Back for live music, food trucks, and an award ceremony.
Can my business set up a booth?
Yes! Hit “Partner with us” in the Get Involved section and tell us your idea.
