Race Overview
Beat the Bridge is an annual 8K run in Seattle that challenges participants to cross the University Bridge before it raises during the race. Starting at Husky Stadium, the course winds through the University of Washington campus, featuring a mix of flat stretches and gentle hills. Runners aim to "beat the bridge" by reaching the span before it lifts; those who don't are treated to live music and entertainment while waiting for the bridge to descend. This event not only offers a unique running experience but also supports Breakthrough T1D, a leading organization funding type 1 diabetes research.
