Run Spokane

New to town, new to running, or visiting? Here are some of the best running routes in the Spokane area.

Centennial Trail: A 37-mile paved trail, great for running, walking and biking alike. It extends from Nine Mile Falls in NW Spokane to the Washington/Idaho border.
Riverside State Park: More of a trail runner? Look no further than Riverside State Park. Enjoy the largest state park in Washington and discover over 55 miles of running/hiking trails. Our favorite? Head to Bowl & Pitcher trailhead to find miles of trails right along the beautiful Spokane River.
The Bluff: Built by volunteers over the last few decades, this network of trails has become a favorite for biking, hiking, running, and dog walking. There are more than 22 miles of trails on the city-owned slopes between High Drive and Hangman Creek.
Camp Sekani/Beacon Hill: Nestled just a few miles outside the heart of downtown Spokane, Camp Sekani and Beacon Hill offer over 30 trails, winding through a thousand acres of public and private land. These trails are steep and frequented by bikers and runners alike.
Riverfront Park / Gonzaga University Loop: A favorite for easy runs. Riverfront Park has enough interconnected pathways to create a roughly 3 mile loop while taking in Spokane Falls, the bridges, and river views. It's one of the most scenic urban runs in the city.

Shadle Park, Mead, Central Valley, and Ferris High Schools all have tracks open to the public outside of school hours and sporting events.
