Running to Remember: Mission43's 9/11 Miles of Remembrance Run in Boise

Registration now open for community tribute with a scenic 5K run/walk honoring service, sacrifice, and unity

BOISE, ID, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Join us in downtown Boise on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM for the annual 9/11 Miles of Remembrance Run, a moving event that unites our community in honoring the lives lost during the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Hosted by Mission43, a community organization dedicated to empowering military members, veterans, and their families, this family-friendly 5K welcomes participants of all physical abilities, ages, and backgrounds. The course follows the scenic Boise River Greenbelt, offering runners, walkers, and handcycle athletes an opportunity to reflect, remember, and express gratitude for those who have served and sacrificed.

“This event is about more than remembering; it’s about honoring our shared resilience as a community,” said Dan McGurkin, newly appointed Director of Mission43. “As an Idaho native and former Marine Corps officer, it’s a privilege to come home and lead an event that brings people together in such a meaningful way.”

The evening will begin with an inspirational opening ceremony at 5:00 PM, followed by the 5K run/walk. After crossing the finish line, participants can gather for post-event festivities at the social area near the start and finish line, featuring food, beer, live music, and activities for all ages.

Registration is free and open now. To sign up or learn more, visit 9/11 Miles of Remembrance Run Event Page.
