    Every journey starts with a first step — and walking absolutely counts.

    The Starting Line is the opening event of the Zero Dark Thirty Run Series, a progressive experience designed to take participants from their first mile to a full marathon over the course of the season.

    This event is intentionally beginner-friendly. You can run, jog, walk, or mix all three. Whether this is your very first race or your first step back in awhile, this event is about showing up — not speed or finish times.

    All proceeds benefit the Zero Dark Thirty Foundation, a veteran-led nonprofit focused on rebuilding purpose, resilience, and community through movement and connection.

    DISTANCES

    1 Mile (Series Distance )

    Perfect for walkers, beginners, families, and first-time participants. Walking is fully encouraged and welcomed.

    Optional Distances

    5K (3.1 miles)

    10K (6.2 miles)

    All distances are walk-friendly, fully timed, and open to participants of all ability levels.

    WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR

    Walkers and first-time participants

    People returning to movement after time away

    Veterans and first responders

    Families and friends

    Experienced runners who want a meaningful season-long challenge

    If you can walk a mile, you can do this event.

    THE ZERO DARK THIRTY ETHOS

    “Zero Dark Thirty” represents discipline, early mornings, and choosing to show up — even when it feels uncomfortable.

    All runners will receive a race shirt and race medal.

    Please note courses utilize the Boise Greenbelt system. Should we run the Greenbelt, the river can be unpredictable. Systems and entities that govern the local Greenbelt are constantly dealing with these challenges. Typical issues are created due to sidewalk construction, sinkholes, flooding, etc. During the run, you may encounter wildlife that may cause a delay in your progress and/or change in your planned route. Or you may cause your own delay to stop and listen to the amazing sounds this course creates.
