The annual Boulevard Race will take place on September 20, featuring 13 DJs, bagpipes, beads, and doughnuts. The race will have a new shirt design, showcasing Spokane across the top with a rising sun.

The 4-mile race will be held on Sunday, September 20, at 10 a.m., through the University District.
