Rim To Rim 7.5 mile run in Twin Falls Idaho

The Rim to Rim is a off run. Meaning it is not a kilometer run but the distence because of the course. It has been a run in Twin Falls Idaho for 30 years.
The Rim to Rim starts at Bass Lake, on the Blue Lakes Golf Course in the Snake River Canyon, runs up and out of the canyon, on a 38% grad. This is only about a mile of straight up on blacktop, but it this grad that colors the full experience of the run. 30 paces up this hill all sane people question the why they are running up this hill.
At the top of this hill, the rode flattens out to a desert plateau, with sage brush, rock, and a few snakes. (this year I only passed 4, all flattened)This run on the side of a country rode is mile 2 and 3. You turn on to highway 93 and run a hesitate 60 yards to the pull off of the bridge. The least desirable part, because of the cars driving by at 60 mph.
Then the Perrine bridge, a 490+/- drop down to the water of the Snake River, and panoramic views of the Snake River Canyon. It is beautiful, and also the half way mark.
From this point you run the Canyon Rim Trail to Clear Springs rode and back down in to the Canyon. This grad is much steeper (42%), but straight with only tow switchbacks. A favorite ruing spot for locals.
From the bottom of the grad you are on the home stretch, you contuin down the rode truing right into Canyon Spring Golf Course, running down the rode throw the parking lot, to a dirt path across a foot/pipe bridge that cross over the Snake River.
At this point you find your self at a golf cart path, turn left. You run throw some much need shade and across Blue Lakes creek. Just passed the creek the path runs up agenest a chain link fence, you cross throw a gate and continues up another hill. It is a reminder that this is no race for flat launders.
At the top of the hill your turn right and finish the course, you are now on the rode back to Bass Lake.
This is an allsome race, full of changles, and amazing scenery. You are well supported for a short race with 4 water stations, and a great meal at the end.
The proceeds for the race go to Habitat for Humanity in Twin Falls.
The race is the third weekend of September.
