Zero Dark Ultra

Zero Dark Ultra is a unique 12-hour self-supported ultramarathon held in Spokane, Washington, starting at sunset and ending at sunrise. The event features a 1.58-mile continuous loop on dirt and wood chip trails, encouraging runners to embrace darkness for reflection, gratitude, and hope. It begins with the Tiny Titans Ultra, a family-friendly loop for parents and children.

Aid is minimal, with one semi-stocked station at the start/finish, and participants must carry their own gear including headlamps and nutrition. The race emphasizes resilience, respect, and environmental care, offering a meaningful challenge beyond competition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
