WHAT: Marmot March is a 1-mile non-competitive walk/jog/run for children in third grade or younger. An adult must accompany the child around the course. Strollers welcome.

WHEN: Saturday, May 4, 2019 (the day before Bloomsday) at 9:00 a.m.

WHERE: Starts at Red Wagon in Riverfront Park.

HIGHLIGHTS: This will be our fourteenth year:

• Children and adults participate together (no more than four children per adult, and all must stay together).
• T-shirts (for kids only) picked up at the Marmot March booth at the Bloomsday Trade Show on Friday only and decorated prior to the event.
• Appearances expected from mascots from sports teams, schools and businesses from throughout the Spokane region.

MASCOTS!: Sports teams that would like to send a mascot to participate in the fun should contact the Bloomsday office, (509) 838-1579, ext. 10.

GOALS: In offering the Marmot March, the Lilac Bloomsday Association has the following goals:

• Encourage kids to be physically active.
• Promote walking and jogging as enjoyable activities.
• Offer another fun, family activity on Bloomsday weekend.
