The Aaron Butler Memorial Purple Heart Run is an annual trail running event held in Eagle, Idaho, honoring U.S. servicemembers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The event features multiple race options, including a Youth 5K for participants aged 16 and under, a standard 5K, a 10K, and the unique Unknown Distance Run, where the exact distance is revealed only upon completion, ranging from 400 meters to 50 kilometers. The courses are designed to be challenging yet inclusive, with routes lined with tributes to fallen heroes. The event fosters a community atmosphere, bringing together veterans, first responders, and families to celebrate sacrifice and service. Post-race activities include music, food, guest speakers, and opportunities to meet and learn from those who have served. Proceeds benefit the Aaron Butler Memorial Foundation, supporting veterans and their families.
