Negative Split

Get prepped for Bloomsday (it’s less than a month away!) with another local race. Formerly held in July, the Negative Split — the name refers to the goal of running the second half faster than the first — 5K and half marathon has moved up in the race calendar and has a new start/finish spot offering scenic views of the Spokane River and downtown from the burgeoning Kendall Yards development. The race is also partnering with the weekend Spokane Women’s Show for packet pickup and to host its new sister event, the Finish Strong Women’s Fitness Games. Last-minute runners can register for the Negative Split up until 6 pm the night before.

Sun, April 12, at 9 am • $45/5K, $95/half marathon • Starts/finishes in Kendall Yards, West Summit Parkway • nsplit.com
