SPOKANE, Wash. — One of the most anticipated traditions with any Bloomsday race is the finisher shirt. The design is kept secret up until race day and only people who complete Bloomsday get the shirt.
Race organizers unveiled the 2023 design as this year's Bloomsday race began.
This year's shirt is black. The design features a stylized runner made of lines. The lines are several colors including yellow, pink, and blue.
This year's design received rave reviews from participants.
"I was talking to a friend and we were like, 'We hope it's black this year," Liz Jacobs said.
"I love the font, I love the colors on it. Very nice. I also love that I finished and I have one," John Mendoza said.
"Honestly I really like it. I like that it's simple and has a lot of color in it and I feel like you can wear it with anything," Dustin Fischer said.
The shirt includes a wavy 'Bloomsday' name along with the word 'finisher' and 'Spokane WA 2023.'
The shirt was designed by Mark Arnold from Moscow.
As is tradition, expect to see thousands of people wearing the 2023 finisher shirt on Monday.
