The Boulevard Race : Spokane, WA (September 20, 2026)
The Boulevard Race is a community running event held in Spokane, Washington on September 20, 2026. It is organized as a combined run and walk over a 4-mile course through downtown Spokane’s University District.
The route passes tree-lined streets, the Gateway Bridge, train trestles and tunnels, and offers views of the Spokane River. Runners also pass historic brick buildings in the former warehouse district, including the Schade Tower. Music and course entertainment are distributed along the route, with DJs playing approximately every quarter mile and features listed by the organizer such as scream tunnels, cheer zones, cow bells, bubbles, live bands, donuts, and a frozen zone.
The event benefits the Community Cancer Fund, a local nonprofit that provides financial support to cancer patients and partner organizations. Community Cancer Fund supports groups including Ronald McDonald House, Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital, YMCA Camp Goodtimes, and the WSU Medical School Pediatric Residency program at Providence. Over the past nine years, Community Cancer Fund has raised more than $28 million to support cancer patients in the Inland Northwest.
The Boulevard Race is presented with multiple corporate partners and sponsors and offers resources for race information, registration, and results through its event channels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
