Happy Girls Run Spokane

The Happy Girls Run Spokane brings together women of all levels of physical fitness and achievement for a race that is nothing short of life-changing for many runners. Be inspired, inspire others and have fun! Happy Girls make up an inclusive community of women that supports healthy choices, positive self-image and—most importantly—each other. Happy Girls Run courses are widely recognized by both first-time racers and seasoned runners alike as being inspiring and fun. This scenic course will take you over challenging dirt trails, groomed paths and paved roads through beautiful Spokane, WA.

The Half Marathon is 50/50 mix of pavement and dirt trail. The dirt trail is relatively smooth but there are several technical, rocky sections. There are several scree slides at roughly mile 4 to mile 4.3. Runners are advised to slow down and watch your footing. All up, the rocky sections total about 1 mile, distributed throughout the first 6 miles. A good rule of thumb is if you see rapids in the river, the trail is likely to be rocky there too. Rocks consist of some smooth river rock and some more jagged shale. The rest is hero dirt for sure. A spectacular course! We’re in love…

All Happy Girls Run Half Marathon finishers receive a stunning piece of customized Happy Girls Run 13.1 jewelry. 5K & 10K runners will receive Happy Girls Run Sock Guy socks. Happy Girls Run Half Marathoners will run their victory lap with the Happy Girls Run Half Marathon t-shirt.

Our Happy Girls post race celebration features beer, cocktails, delicious catered food, inspiring music and good times with your fellow runners. Bring a change of clothes and plan to stay for a bit on the parade grounds at the beautiful Mukogawa Ft. Wright Institute Campus to revel in your achievements!
