Overview
Originating in 1984, the Harvest Classic Fun Run is a well established event, greatly anticipated by families, kids, walkers, recreational runners and competitive racers alike. The festive atmosphere, variety of race options, and post race activities culminate in an exciting event for participants and spectators, offering something for runners wanting a fast course and families seeking a fun, outdoor activity. The event is held at the Nampa Recreation Center and features a fast 8K point to point route that starts at Lake Lowell and ends at the Nampa Recreation Center, a 2 mile paved course starting and ending at the Nampa Recreation Center, utilizing the Wilson Pathway with a scenic run along Wilson Creek, and a 1 mile non-competitive route that loops around Liberty Park, designed just for fun.
Proceeds from the Harvest Classic give back to the community by supporting physical education programs in schools and providing funds for recreation program scholarships. Eight $250 awards are given to schools P.E. Departments to purchase much needed equipment. In addition to the school awards, the Harvest Classic helps fund youth recreation scholarships, enabling low income kids to participate in Nampa Parks and Recreation Department programs like swimming, basketball, softball, and more. We offer a variety of sponsor levels and packages for you to choose from. We believe one of these packages will give your company excellent exposure and complement your marketing strategies.
