ZD30 First Push (1 Mile, 5K, and 10K)
Date: Sat May 16, 2026
Location: Boise, ID 83702 US
Momentum becomes commitment. The First Push is the second event in the Zero Dark Thirty Run Series — a progressive program designed to take participants from their first mile all the way to a full marathon. At 6.2 miles, the 10K represents a shift. It’s where consistency turns into endurance. It’s where doubt gets replaced with discipline. It’s where participants begin to realize they are capable of more than they thought. This event is run or walk friendly and designed to be supportive and encouraging for all ability levels. All proceeds benefit the Zero Dark Thirty Foundation, a veteran-led nonprofit supporting veterans through movement, mentorship, and community.
