Event
Details
Run along a hilly, scenic out-and-back course that takes runners along
portions of
this city's stretch of the Spokane River, the Spokane Marathon, Half
Marathon & Relay races start and finish at Spokane's Riverfront
Park on Spokane Falls Boulevard, and take runners on a tour past the
city's Riverside State Park and Downriver Golf Course, while the 5-mile
race takes runners along the Centennial Trail. Both courses close at
1:00 PM on the day of the race, so runners who don't feel confident
about finishing the full marathon are encouraged to register instead
for the half marathon.
The event is sponsored by Spokane's Bloomsday Road Runners Club, and
tends to draw a smaller size crowd -- the 2006 race welcomed just over
450 participants for the half marathon and just over 100 runners for
the full marathon.
