On Obliteride morning, be part of the excitement as you complete your Obliteride bike ride or 5K with an amazing community united to cure cancer faster. Then, let’s celebrate! We’ll have food, music, and drinks waiting after you cross the finish line until 6 p.m. at Gas Works Park in Seattle.
Saturday, August 12, is the day of our bike rides and 5K walk/run in Seattle. Show up early, head to the starting line, and feel the thrill as you complete your 25-, 50-, or 100-mile bike ride or 5K walk/run with your fellow participants.
All routes will start at the University of Washington E-18 parking lot and finish at Gas Works Park. Start times for each route are below:
100-mile ride: 6:30 a.m.
50-mile ride: 7:30 a.m.
25-mile ride: 8:30 a.m.

After you complete your Obliteride, let’s celebrate! We’ll have food, music, and drinks by the finish line until 6 p.m.
Guests and virtual participants are invited to cheer participants at Gas Works Park — plus, they will be able to purchase food and drink tickets. More details coming soon!
Our family-friendly 5K has been updated for 2023 with a new route! The walk/run is on a paved area, with mostly foot and bike traffic. Our updated bike routes share the road with cars. They have signage, rest stops, support vehicles, and traffic control support. Please note: NO pets will be allowed on our bike or 5K routes, at the Friday Night Party, or at the Saturday Celebration. This policy will be strictly enforced.
Bike stops offer snacks, drinks, mechanical (bike) support and medical support if needed. Lunch will be provided for 100-mile riders at the mid-point rest stop. The 5K stop includes water, bathrooms, and encouragement. Our volunteers and staff make stops a fun way to recharge!
SAG (support and gear) vehicles track riders on all bike routes. If you need assistance, hail a SAG vehicle or call the emergency number on your wristband.
To make our day safe and fun, we need help from you.
