PHASE ONE TRAINING GROUNDS

Phase One training grounds are bare bones, raw and real. Staged out of multiple areas in Spokane to include the Reardan Cross Country track in Seven Mile, Riverside State Park, and Mt Spokane State Park, all providing beautiful and challenging opportunities to forge holistic strength.

INSPIRATION

This a part of the Phase One Mission. A bare bones, self supported, invitation to move through the dark to appreciate the light. No firsts, No lasts. Zero Dark Ultra is an invitation to embrace the quiet darkness to reflect and find gratitude and hope while running or rucking through the night. This event is more than a race. It is an invitation to train for adversity, define resilience, and find hope, leaving no one behind.
