The first miles take the runners out of downtown Spokane through the historic Browne’s Addition. After that they will run a few miles along the course of the famous Lilac Bloomsday run. Next, they will run along the Centennial Trail, high above the Spokane River, eye level with the many birds that make the tall trees their homes. The course then meanders through the beautiful campuses of Spokane Falls Community College and Fort Wright Mukogawa. Then it is back out onto the Centennial Trail to again follow the Spokane River to the Seven-Mile Bridge. At this point (just past the 14-mile mark), the runners begin their trek back towards downtown Spokane on a quiet, paved road on the opposite side of the river. The course has several rolling hills along the way, and the runner meets the most infamous one, Doomsday Hill, just before the 22-mile mark. The runners then turn into the West Central neighborhood where they run along Summit Blvd. and through the future home of Kendall Yards, again running high above the Spokane River. In the final mile, there is a small climb up Lincoln Street (which might not feel so small in the 26th mile), and then it is a flat stretch for about a quarter of a mile when the runners turn right into Riverfront Park. After a .3 jaunt through the beautiful park, the runners finish on a bridge over the river in front of the picturesque Rotary Fountain and the 100-year-old Looff carrousel.
