Event Description

This is where intention becomes commitment.

The Commitment is the fourth event in the Zero Dark Thirty Run Series — a progressive program guiding participants from their first mile to a 30 Mile Ultra.

At 13.1 miles, the Half Marathon represents more than distance. It represents discipline. Preparation. Follow-through. It’s the point in the journey where you realize this is no longer just a goal — it’s a commitment to yourself.

This event is run or walk friendly, and participants may move at their own pace. Whether you are building toward your first marathon or choosing the Half as your personal summit, this race is about perseverance and purpose.

All proceeds benefit the Zero Dark Thirty Foundation, a veteran-led nonprofit supporting veterans through movement, mentorship, and community.
