Event summary

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind experience at the Instant Gratification Zero Mile Fun Run on Saturday, September 12, 2026, in beautiful Boise, Ada! This unique event, inspired by a cartoon from Idaho's own Steve Moore, offers a fun twist on traditional races by featuring a start and finish line that are exactly the same. Participants will enjoy all the perks of a marathon without the running—cross the finish line to receive a bib number, refreshing water cups, fresh fruit, and even massages!

This family-friendly celebration will also showcase professional cartoonists, live music, food trucks, and refreshments, creating an atmosphere of joy and community. Plus, every participant will leave with a first-place ribbon, so be sure to capture that winning moment on the podium! All proceeds will support veterans through the Wyakin Foundation, making this event not only entertaining but also impactful. Can't make it to Boise? Join us virtually and receive a tee shirt and blue ribbon by mail. Mark your calendars for this fun-filled day that promises laughter, community spirit, and a great cause!

Organiser's Description

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. This event will feature all of the trappings of a marathon, only without the running. You will receive a bib number, have water cups handed to you as you cross the finish line, and be treated with fresh fruit and massages when you finish - just like the big marathons. After the race is over (which is right away), you will be entertained by professional cartoonists, music, food trucks and refreshments...and even award presentations (you will be getting a first place ribbon so make sure you get your picture on the winner's stand!). This is a family friendly event, and all proceeds go to veterans being supported by the Wyakin Foundation (www.wyakin.org [https://www.wyakin.org]).
