SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane’s beloved Bloomsday is losing the face of the race, Jon Neill, after the board of directors voted him out of his role as race director.
The leader of Spokane’s iconic Lilac Bloomsday Run has left the organization, along with two board members. The former race director said the board voted to remove him and offer him an unspecified alternate job within the organization.
Bloomsday Race Director Jon Neill is parting ways with the organization after nearly 20 years. He had served as Race Director since 2019.
