5th year for this race. The race supports a NF charity for research. A 630 PM night race on a Friday and a 10K to boot, so I couldn't resist and for $35?!

Packet Pick up was at Fleet Feet from 12-430 or just prior to the race at at Riverfront Park. I'm ok with quick and easy packet pick ups!

Race started with the kids fun run at 6 pm. The 10K started at 630 PM. The course itself was along the Centennial Trail in Spokane. Parts were along the River and other parts took you through Gonzaga, Mission Park and some other local areas. There were one or two parts that were a bit sketchy behind the train tracks that I wish weren't part of the course, but oh well. Fairly flat, but one or two areas with hills involved. Downside about being on a running path is that it was really only 3-4 people wide so strollers took up a good portion of the width and there were non race people on the course. Other downside about the course was there were a few areas where we were looping or passing the same part multiple times so it got confusing as to which way to go. Timing and/or mile markers would have been helpful, but the garmin did the job.

Good small race, and with it being a Friday night race, I'll take it!
