Bloomsday goes virtual

Spokane, WA — Unless runners defer entry, all current Bloomsday 2020 registrants are now signed up for Virtual Bloomsday.

This new feature of Bloomsday will allow entrants to earn their coveted Finisher T-shirt by completing a 7.46-mile course of their choosing any time between September 18 – 20.

Here’s how it works:

1. Virtual participants will receive their commemorative race number and instructions in the mail in late August and early September. Bloomsday 2020 souvenir merchandise purchased through the registration process will be mailed to you as well.

2. Between September 18-20, “Virtual Bloomies” will run/walk a 12k (7.46 miles) course of their choosing. The course can be anywhere in the world—and anyone in the world can participate.

3. Upon completion, each finisher will post their finish time on the Bloomsday website. Bloomsday will then mail the official 2020 finisher shirt. It is that easy!

Individuals and families may register today for Virtual Bloomsday. The entry fee is $25 through Aug. 26. To help prepare participants for the race, a 7-week virtual training clinic, beginning in August, will be provided by Providence Health Care and Kaiser Permanente. The clinic will once again provide training tips and advice from a team of experts to help Bloomies get ready for Bloomsday weekend. To register for the Virtual Training Clinic, click here.
