Aaron Butler Memorial Purple Heart Run: Idaho

🏃‍♂️ Aaron Butler Memorial Purple Heart Run

The 7th annual Aaron Butler Memorial Purple Heart Run (ABMPHR) will be held on Saturday, August 16th, 2025 at Eagle Island State Park and surrounding trail system. Eagle Island has done some renovations, and it is looking NICE!

🏅 Event Details

• Events: 5K, 10K, and a signature Unknown Distance Run (we guarantee no less than 400M and no more than 50K, YOU WILL NOT KNOW the final distance until you finish).
• Experience: We take great pride in delivering an awesome trail running experience, but this isn’t a Boston Qualifier, there is no chip-timing, and no one cares if you walk the course.
• Community Focus: This event is about community and sacrifice, with routes lined with pictures and stories of our brothers and sisters who gave their lives in the service of our Nation.
• Youth Involvement: Don't forget about our 16-and-under Youth 5K: we care deeply about youth leadership development and believe that it begins with exposure to service and sacrifice.

🎓 More Than a Run

It's more than a run, it's an emotional and educational experience.
