The Bloomsday Run is a large 12K through Spokane. Spectators should pick the start, Doomsday Hill, or the finish rather than trying to cover the whole route by car.
Best places to stand
Local tradition puts crowds at the start downtown, on Doomsday Hill for the climb, and at the finish. Neighborhood stretches also draw residents. Confirm current course map on the official site.
- Start: downtown start area.
- Middle: Doomsday Hill for the classic climb view.
- Finish: downtown finish chute and festival.
Getting there
Use the official parking and closure map. Walking between nearby spots is usually faster than driving once roads close.
Where to meet
Agree on a landmark outside the finish chute. Cell service can be heavy near the line.
