riday kicks off Bloomsday 2021, once again happening virtually due to COVID-19. Last year s online version of Spokane s favorite road race proved remarkably popular, as tens of thousands of racers participated around the globe. This year, racers will knock out the 12-kilometer (7.46-mile) route of their choosing between April 30 and May 9 and submit their times to the Bloomsday folks. They ll even get the traditional finisher s T-shirt, just like they do when they race on the streets of Spokane. You can register to run this year s Bloomsday right up until May 9, online at bloomsdayrun.org. We mapped out potential routes for local runners who still haven t decided where they want to pound the pavement. They re for the more leisurely Bloomie, willing to stop and smell the roses (among other things) as they run. They won t all get you to the finish line in record time, but they re all roughly 12 kilometers, and all showcase some of the best the city has to offer.

No significant changes will be made in the short term, Goodwin said. Previously booked weddings and other events will be honored in 2021. In fact, he said, they are actively seeking more bookings thr
