A Run to InspireKidz

A Run to InspireKidz takes place in Boise, Idaho, on November 14, 2026, with a single 1-mile event starting at 10 a.m.

A mile is the most approachable format on any race calendar. Children can run the whole thing, families can walk it together, and nobody needs a training plan to get to the start line. For a runner used to longer distances, a mile is a different exercise entirely: it is over in five to ten minutes, it hurts from about halfway, and it teaches you what your top sustainable gear actually feels like. Warm up more than the distance suggests, ten to fifteen minutes of easy jogging with a few strides, since there is no room to ease into a race this short.
