Race Information

Discover the thrill of Beat the Bridge, an 8K run that transcends the ordinary by taking you over Seattle's University Bridge, which, in an exciting twist, gets raised partway through the race. The challenge? Run fast enough to beat the bridge, or enjoy the company of fellow participants until it descends. But it's not just a race; it's a meaningful cause – a powerful fundraiser for type 1 diabetes research. Whether you're a runner or not, there's something for everyone – a 3-mile walk, a 1-mile fun run, a wheelchair race, and even a Diaper Derby. Lace up for an extraordinary experience and contribute to a vital cause!

We really like the scenic route on this one. You'll be running along the waterfront almost the entire time, looping Lake Union, and getting killer views of the Seattle city skyline. 

The Tenacious Ten courses are well supported with aid stations every 2 miles. Every participant will end up with a finisher medal and custom race shirt as well.

There is a cap of 900 runners, so don't wait too long to register.
