Spokane, WA 3/13/24 – As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering healthy lifestyles among youth, the Lilac Bloomsday Association is excited to announce the launch of the 2024 “Fit for Bloomsday – Fit for Life” program, set to begin next week. This exciting initiative, designed to promote physical activity and wellness among students, will offer free, safe, and engaging activities aimed at getting kids ready to participate in Jr. Bloomsday and Bloomsday, but also aims at instilling healthy habits for life.
“We are excited to partner with Darigold FIT to bring Fit for Bloomsday – Fit for Life to our school communities,” said Bethany Lueck, Communications and Sponsorship Coordinator at Bloomsday. “This program aligns with our mission to empower youth to get involved in sports competition and fitness education. By providing free and accessible activities, we hope to inspire a lifelong commitment to making healthy choices.”
In addition to promoting physical activity, Fit for Bloomsday – Fit for Life emphasizes the importance of inclusivity. Volunteer coaches will lead all sessions, ensuring that participants can exercise with confidence and peace of mind. The program welcomes students of all fitness levels and backgrounds, creating a supportive environment where students can earn prizes, and everyone can thrive.
“We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and active life,” said Lueck. “Through initiatives like Fit for Bloomsday – Fit for Life, we aim to empower young people to prioritize their well-being and make positive choices that will benefit them for years to come.”
Parents and guardians are encouraged to check with your child’s school to find out when your Fit for Bloomsday – Fit for Life program will kick off.

More Info: Fit for Bloomsday was started by school principal and previous Bloomsday board member Tom Jones. He was instrumental in ensuring Bloomsday was a family event that all can enjoy. He knew kids would enjoy Bloomsday if they were physically ready for it and so, the Fit for Bloomsday – Fit for Life program was born!
Jr. Bloomsday race day is April 14, 2024, at Spokane Falls Community College and Bloomsday is May 5, 2024 in downtown Spokane. For more information or to register for Jr. Bloomsday or Bloomsday please visit www.bloomsdayrun.org
