Bloomsday is one of the largest and most recognized annual events held in Spokane. First started in 1977, Bloomsday is a race that invites runners from all over the world to participate in. The first 15 finishers of Bloomsday receive a cash prize of up to $7,000.
However, the great thing about Bloomsday is that anyone can participate. Whether you are looking to compete for a title or participate recreationally, the race is available to anyone of all ages and abilities. Everyone will receive a shirt at the finish line and their name and time will be posted in The Pacific Northwest Inlander.
To participate in Bloomsday you must first register and pay a fee of $15. From there you will select a time bracket that you would like to be placed in. This time bracket allows you to run, jog, walk, or wheel with others who will be completing the course at approximately the same time as you.
I have run Bloomsday 5 years in the past, and each time was a great experience. It allows you to be active with your community, and spend time outdoors. If you are a local of Spokane, don’t miss out on a great opportunity.
This year Bloomsday will be held on May 2, and the race is 7.46 miles long. To register or get more information visit Bloomsday 2010.
