2026 Obliteride 5K Walk/Run Route
Be part of an amazing community as you walk or run with us this year. We’re in this to fundraise, support each other, and have fun doing it! And remember — it’s not a race! Obliteride does not track or post official finish times.
5K Walk/Run
Feel the joy on our 5K route as you join a welcoming community committed to life-changing research! Our family-friendly 5K takes walkers and runners from the University of Washington to Gas Works Park, with one water stop at the halfway mark. For most of the route, you’ll follow Seattle’s multi-use Burke-Gilman Trail. This route is flat, fully paved, wheelchair-accessible, and great for participants of all ages and abilities. Download the 5K GPS route.
START TIME: 8 a.m.
START LINE: University of Washington, E-18 parking lot
FINISH LINE: Gas Works Park
Due to external factors (such as weather, road conditions, or construction) all timing and routes are subject to change. There will be a number of safety and support elements for Obliteride on August 8. Any pre-event training on the Obliteride routes must be done at your own risk.
“I love the community and opportunity to take action. Obliteride gives me hope that Fred Hutch’s work will help other families avoid the pain of losing loved ones.”
— Laura McCain, 5K walker, 9-year participant
Fundraise and Take Action
When you register for Obliteride, every dollar you raise will fuel groundbreaking discoveries at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, thanks to generous event sponsors and supporters. You can choose to raise money for the area of work at Fred Hutch that is most meaningful to you, including a specific disease area, program, researcher, clinician, or our cancer research greatest need. We’ll provide you with the tools to reach out to family and friends and fundraise with confidence!
Join a Team!
Teams are for everyone, and a great way to stay motivated and make friends while fundraising for a cause you are passionate about. You can also work together to not only meet your fundraising goals but go above and beyond for leading-edge research! Teams can include riders, walkers, runners, virtual participants, and volunteers.
Powerful, Together!
