Race Information
Discover the thrill of Beat the Bridge for Breakthrough T1D, 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!
