ZD30 The Summit (1 Mile, 5K, and 10K, 1/2 Marathon, 30 Mile Ultra)

Boise, ID
This is The Summit. The Ultra is the final event in the Zero Dark Thirty Run Series — a progressive program designed to take participants from their first mile to 30 miles over the course of the season. The Summit represents more than distance. It represents commitment, discipline, and follow-through. It’s the culmination of months of steady effort and the closing chapter of a journey that began with a single mile. This event takes place near Veterans Day, honoring resilience, service, and the power of showing up — again and again. This race is run/walk friendly, and participants may move at their own pace. Whether you run the entire distance or use a run/walk strategy, finishing is what matters. All proceeds benefit the Zero Dark Thirty Foundation, a veteran-led nonprofit supporting veterans through movement, mentorship, and community.  DISTANCES1 Mile Perfect for walkers, beginners, families, and first-time participants. Walking is fully encouraged and welcomed. 5K (3.1 miles) 10K (6

Boise Turkey Day 5K Run/Walk

Boise, ID
Welcome to the annual Turkey Day 5k in Boise, Idaho’s favorite Thanksgiving Day tradition. Turkey Day 5K is a whole family fun run designed to kick off your day with fun, energy, and community. Bring the whole "Flock" and run or walk together on Thanksgiving morning! 2025 marks the 14th year that the event benefits both the Boise Rescue Mission and Camp Rainbow Gold. As Boise continues to grow, so does the need for the services these organizations provide. Just by showing up you are already helping us contribute to these great organizations – but you can do more: bring extra canned food, make a donation directly to these groups, or better yet, donate a few hours of your time volunteering with them and you’ll both be rewarded. Thank you again for joining us in 2025 and Happy Thanksgiving!   Please consider volunteering too! If you cannot race this year, then please join us as a volunteer. Even if you are racing, consider one of the pre-race day volunteer positions for the Boise
