Eagle, Idaho · Thursday, March 19, 2026
The Pulse Endurance Runs is a running and ultra event held on Thursday, March 19, 2026. It is located at 4000 W. Hatchery Rd. in Eagle, Idaho.
The 8th annual Aaron Butler Memorial Purple Heart Run (ABMPHR) will be held on Saturday, August 15th, 2026 at Eagle Island State Park and surrounding trail system. Eagle Island has done some renovations, and it is looking NICE!
Sign up, show up, and embrace the suck in the 5K, 10K, or signature Unknown Distance Run (we guarantee no less than 400M and no more than 50K, YOU WILL NOT KNOW the final distance until you finish.) We take great pride in delivering an awesome trail running experience, but this isn't a Boston Qualifier, there is no chip-timing, and no one cares if you walk the course. This event is about community and sacrifice, the routes are lined with pictures and stories of our brothers and sisters who gave their lives in the service of our Nation. Aaron's name is on the event, but our event honors ALL of the Fallen. Don't forget about our 16-and-under Youth 5K, we care deeply about youth leadership development and believe that it begins with exposure to service and sacrifice.
It's more than a run, it's an emotional and educational experience.
No posers, no egos. If you're down to clown with authentic veterans, first-responders, and patriots who celebrate the lives and legacies of those who gave all, this event is for you. Registration gets you access to the run, music, food, guest speakers, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, sweet raffle and auction items, and lots to do for kids. We sweat, we laugh, we cry (just to water our beards), and we support each other. Join us.
*NOTE: If you do not have a Idaho State Parks Pass, entry into the park will cost $7. We recommend car pooling with someone who has a parks pass. Or, BEFORE RACE DAY, please consider purchasing an annual parks pass for $10 here https://parksandrecreation.idaho.gov/idaho-state-parks-passport/ to get into all State Parks for a year.
We are so excited for the 10th Annual Ada County Kids’ Duathlon on Saturday, September 12th, now known as the Tobin Bolter Memorial Kids’ Duathlon. We have some really fun things lined up for your kids and can’t wait for the big day. Below you will find some important event logistics and a map of the event, including the courses for each age group.
PARKING
You can park in either the North or South parking lots, just be aware that the North parking lot will not be accessible during the races. We will have volunteers there ensuring that our participants are safe crossing the street. If you plan on attending the entirety of the event, you shouldn’t have any issues, but just heads up. You can also utilize the street as overflow parking.
When you arrive, place your participant(s)’ bikes in the designated bike corral along the race route in the south parking lot. When they are done with their race, they will park them on the basketball court near the finish line.
RACE RULES
All participants must wear a helmet any time they are on a bicycle. Each participant will receive a bib with timing chips attached in their race packet at packet pickup. When you arrive at the event, it is imperative that you instruct your children not to cross the start or finish line outside of their race, as it will mess up their time and alter the results. Keep in mind that these courses are happening on trails – there is not a lot of extra room for passing or for parents to be close by. We do have designated spectator viewing areas, and will also have volunteers placed along the route to ensure their safety. For parents of our 3 year old competitors, who will mostly be on asphalt and will only do the running portion on the trail, if your child needs you to run the race with them for moral support, you are welcome to do that!
Please keep an eye out for more information to come via email!
