BONNERS FERRY — The heat couldn’t keep runners away, nor the fun times, as 220 registered runners competed in this year’s Kootenai River Run. The race, which is a fundraiser for Bonners Ferry High School senior runners and features 5K and 10K distances, was held Saturday, July 20, as part of Kootenai River Days.
Runners were serenaded and cheered on throughout the course, with live music provided by the local band “No Boundaries” at the final stretch. Also performing were Hobart “Hank” Yocom on the drums on Kootenai Street, Bonners Ferry High School Band, BFHS cheerleaders and Scott Stover on guitar. The Rowdy Restorium Renegades kept the runners cool with water soakers outside the Boundary County Restorium.
This year saw an increase of nearly 50 runners from 2023.
