Thinking about running Bloomsday this year? Starting strong begins with injury prevention.

Here are two essential tips to keep you moving:

🏃‍♂️ Warm Up and Cool Down Properly: Walk for a few minutes or do dynamic leg swings before you start. Do static stretches after you finish to help ease muscle tightness and support recovery.

💪 Incorporate Basic Strength Training: Adding bodyweight or light resistance exercises (squats, lunges, and glute bridges) 1-2 times a week will help support your form and reduce chance of injuries as your mileage increases.

Great runners are raised by great communities, and each year, Spokane rallies behind their top high school athletes through Team Bloomsday.

Team Bloomsday sponsors 36 of the the top high school runners across Greater Spokane, sending the top two girls and boys, to represent our region at the Brooks West XC Championships. These young athletes pour their hearts, dedication, and endless discipline into earning their spots on the start line.

While Team Bloomsday covers the foundation of this trip, it is the generosity of our local community that makes it truly possible. To ensure these student-athletes can compete on a regional stage, community donations directly cover their essential travel expenses:

🥗 $20 provides a fueling meal on the road
🏨 $100 covers a hotel room for one night

When you support Team Bloomsday, you are doing more than funding a trip. You are investing in a young athlete's dream, validating their hard work, and showing them that their entire city stands firmly behind them.

Please consider sponsoring a runner today to help us fuel the future of Spokane running. Every dollar directly impacts a local student's journey.
