What is a Zero Mile Fun Run?

Based on a cartoon by Idaho's own Steve Moore, you begin and end at the same time - the start and finish line are one in the same. Absolutely NO running required! Cross the “finish line” the moment you arrive and enjoy instant gratification, not to mention cartoons by world famous cartoonists, food trucks, music, face painting, and post-race massages. This is a celebration of fun, family, friends, and living life at your own pace! All proceeds benefit veterans through the Wyakin Foundation.

All ages and abilities are welcome at this family friendly event!
