Lilac Bloomsday Run
The Lilac Bloomsday Run is an annual timed road race in Spokane, Washington, held the first Sunday of every May since 1977. The course is 12km (7.46mi) long. The course starts in downtown Spokane and heads northwest along the far west end of town, passes by Mukogowa Ft. Wright and Spokane Falls Community College before heading up Doomsday Hill and back downtown to the County Courthouse. Every finisher of the race receives a Bloomsday T-shirt. Bloomsday is also the world's largest timed road race with over 50,000 participants each year.
Don Kardong who founded the Bloomsday race cites James Joyce's Ulysses as the inspiration for the name Bloomsday.
