The Boulevard Race
The Boulevard Race is a 4-mile run and walk through downtown Spokane’s University District. The course passes tree-lined streets, the Gateway Bridge, train trestles and tunnels, and offers views of the Spokane River and historic brick buildings, including the Schade Tower. The route runs through an area that was once a warehouse district and is now a higher education hub.
Entertainment is placed along the course and includes Scream Tunnels, Cheer Zones, cow bells, bubbles, live bands, donuts, and a Frozen Zone. DJs play music every quarter mile to provide a continuous soundtrack during the event.
The Boulevard Race is a Community Cancer Fund event. Community Cancer Fund provides financial support to cancer patients and to organizations that serve them, 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 event is organized as a running and walking event through city streets and presents a mix of urban scenery, historic architecture, and course-side entertainment while directing proceeds to local cancer support efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
