Spokane River Run

-
The Spokane River Run is a series of trail runs through Riverside State Park.

We’ve got races for every level of awesomeness, from the 5K sprinters to the 50K trail blazers. Whether you’re a fitness fanatic or just looking for an excuse to escape your couch, we’ve got you covered. So #CHOOSEYOURTRAIL  5K, 10K, 25K, 25K Challenge, 50K or 50K team relay.

Our scenic courses wind through Riverside State Park, where you’ll dash along single-track trails with pine-scented air, basalt cliffs that’ll make you feel like a mountain goat, and don’t forget the Spokane River roaring in the background. Or, if you’ve ever thought, “Hey, my friends and I could totally outpace these woods,” then this is your time to shine. our 50K relay is the perfect challenge to tackle with your crew.

But here’s the kicker – we’re not just about breaking a sweat, we’re about breaking records in generosity too. The Spokane River Run is on a mission to fundraise for the Garfield A.P.P.L.E program and its amazing partners. Plus, our entire operation is powered by the passion of our volunteers. That’s right, every dollar you invest in your race entry goes straight to supporting the cause. We’re not just running; we’re running with a purpose.

Volunteer Event - Riverside - Riparian Plant Maintenance

Join us along the Little Spokane River for riparian plant maintenance. Dogwood, Cottonwood, Aspen, and Willows were planted with cages placed around them to avoid critters munching on them. Now that the plants are well established and mature, it's time to remove the cages. There is also an invasive grass growing in this area. We can mow down the reed canary grass to avoid it going to seed and spreading.

Volunteer Event - Centennial Trail - Forest Health (Thinning)

Happy Earth Day!

Join us to improve young stands of Ponderosa Pine and Doug Fir through reducing overcrowded stands. Giving trees proper spacing allows them to grow with health and vigor instead of competing with one another for space, light, and water. We will use handsaws and loppers to remove trees and lay them alongside the trail to prepare for the woodchipper to make a pass through at a later date.

We will meet at Wilbur Trailhead and walk or shuttle to the thinning site (about 1/4-1/2 mile from the trailhead).
