Lace up for a vibrant 4-mile experience at The Boulevard Race, set to ignite the streets of Spokane, WA, on September 20, 2026. This popular road race is celebrated for its fast and flat course, winding through the scenic Downtown Spokane University District. Runners will traverse tree-lined boulevards, soak in majestic views of the Spokane River, and pass under the iconic Gateway Bridge and historic train trestles, all while enjoying the charm of the city's brick warehouse district. The start and finish lines are conveniently located near Gonzaga University on Spokane Falls Boulevard, making for an electric atmosphere from beginning to end.

The Boulevard Race is renowned for transforming a typical race into "the most fun you'll ever have over 4 miles". Expect an unforgettable journey filled with high-energy cheer zones, live bands, DJs spinning tunes every quarter mile, exhilarating "scream tunnels," and even a bubble zone. This community celebration isn't just about personal bests; it's a powerful fundraiser for the Community Cancer Fund, with proceeds directly supporting local cancer patients and their families in the Inland Northwest. With two strategically placed aid stations offering water and first aid, and typical race day conditions boasting comfortable highs around 72F and lows around 48F with only a 2% chance of precipitation, it promises ideal running weather and comprehensive support. Many participants run in tribute to loved ones, adding a deeply moving and unifying element to the already spirited event.
