Bare Mountain Retreat has developed over 5 miles of trails over the past several years and we were looking for a way to show them off to a larger audience. The idea of a nude fun run that was different from others was suggested. Several members went to work and the Streak to the Peak was born.

The 2019 race was interesting. We made changes to the racecourse and more than doubled the number of runners. However, on race day an unusual September storm rolled in drenching the mountain in rain. Nevertheless, our intrepid runners braved the inclement weather, were serenaded to live mid-race fiddle music and raced to the top of the mountain. There was even a marriage proposal at the conclusion of the race.

The 2022 saw a large gathering beginning Saturday afternoon and evening. The race was very competitive. Perhaps the most interesting fact was the large number of family and friends that were present to support their favorite racer. Lots of fun hearing all the cheers as the runners passed by.

The large number of wildfires burning in Idaho pumped smoke into Boise for weeks puting the race in jeopardy. A thunderstorm 90 minutes before the race helped clear the air and the race to the top of Bare Mountain was on.
