The Boulevard Race

Looking for an excuse to get out and have some fun? Run, jog or walk the Boulevard Race, and stick it to cancer while you’re at it. The 4-mile party isn’t just one of the most music-packed, cheer-stacked and beautiful routes in the city — it’s a community effort to support cancer patients and their families. The race raises money for the Community Cancer Fund, a nonprofit that supports individuals as well as organizations like the Ronald McDonald House, Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital, YMCA Camp Goodtimes, and the new WSU Medical School Pediatric Residency program at Providence. It just so happens to also feature locals like DJ Donuts and the Ferris High School marching band, plus fun zones with beads, foam, or flamingos, to uplift everyone’s spirits for the entire journey together.
