SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. – The Spokane Valley City Council and project partners celebrated the completion of The Course Spokane Valley today, a new cross country venue.
“This is an exciting day! The Course Spokane Valley will not only be a wonderful new park for our community but will also serve as a catalyst for sports tourism, attracting athletes and spectators from across the country,” Mayor Pam Haley said in a release.
The venue offers 5K, 6K, 8K and 10K loop options, along with amenities such as restrooms, a pedestrian pathway and a parking lot.
The Course will host its first full season in 2026 with a grand opening celebration in the spring.
“The Course Spokane Valley is a milestone project that highlights the city’s commitment to creating facilities that serve residents and attract visitors,” said Ashley Blake, CEO of Spokane Sports.
The project was funded by $6.9 million in lodging tax revenue from Spokane Valley, along with contributions from the Washington State Legislature and other grants.
Construction began in the fall of 2024.
Upcoming events include the 2025 WCC Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Championships on November 1, 2025, and the NWAC Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Championships on November 10, 2025.
