Course Map
Bob Firman Cross Country Course

EAGLE ISLAND STATE PARK is a championship tested cross country course that challenges competitors by requiring constant adjustments to a variety of surfaces including grass, sand, packed dirt, open field, and asphalt (but only 9 meters of the black stuff). The course also requires competitors to constantly adjust pace as they negotiate a number of turns and two trips up and down Spectator Hill with its 50 meter climb and fast 90 meter descent. Course elevation 2,724 feet

This park has been actively used for cross country meets since 1989. It has been the site of the Bob Firman Invitational, Idaho State Cross Country Championships, WAC Championships, Cascade Collegiate Conference Championships, NCAA DII Championships and the Nike Team National Northwest Championships.
