Zakito Trail Runs

Our Mission

To honor the life and legacy of our friend, Zak McKeon, through endurance events, charitable giving, and an inclusive community built on friendship, perseverance, and fellowship.

​

Running for Zak. Giving Back.

​

Our inaugural event, the Cinco de Zakito 12-Hour Endurance Run, will take place on May 1, 2027, with two simple goals: to raise funds in support of Zak's family and to bring friends, family, and fellow runners together to celebrate Zak's life and his passion for endurance sports.

​

Our vision extends well beyond this first event. We hope to establish Zakito Trail Runs as a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, allowing us to continue honoring Zak's legacy through endurance events that support charitable causes close to his heart.

​

Proceeds from future events will benefit charitable organizations and causes that reflect Zak's passions and values, with distributions determined by the Zakito Trail Runs Board of Directors.

​

Above all, we hope to build a lasting community where people come together to challenge themselves, support one another, give back, and keep Zak's spirit alive—one mile at a time.
