See you at the start line, Spokane. Let’s make history together.

Only 1 day remains until we step into the history books together.

From the iconic presence of the Doomsday Vulture to the live music that has echoed through our streets since 1977, these traditions have remained a steadfast part of our community’s story. They are the threads that connect fifty years of runners, walkers, and families across the Inland Northwest.

Tomorrow morning, we add a new chapter to that legacy. We’ll see you at the start line for the historic 50th Lilac Bloomsday Run! 💜

The countdown is down to just 2 days.

For five decades, Bloomsday has been a bridge between generations in the Inland Northwest. From the parents who ran the first race in 1977 to the grandchildren joining us for their very first 12k this Sunday, this legacy is built on the stories and perseverance of our community.

We are honored to share this historic 50th anniversary with you. Let’s make this weekend a tribute to every mile covered over the last fifty years.
