We’re counting down the days until the 43rd Annual Beat the Bridge for Breakthrough T1D! On Saturday, May 10th, Mountlake Blvd will be yours by 7:45 AM, so get ready to run, walk, or volunteer. Whether you’re racing the 8K to “Beat the Bridge,” taking a scenic 3 Mile Walk, or sprinting in the 1 Mile Fun Run, you’ll be part of an unforgettable journey through the University of Washington campus, culminating on Husky Field.

After you cross the finish line, the celebration continues! Visit vendor booths, meet community partners, and gather with other families. Stop by the Family Teams Tent for fun activities, sign-up the littles to be a part of the Diaper Derby, and don’t miss the T1D Parade, where we’ll honor our incredible T1D warriors as they take center stage!

But the fun doesn’t just start on race day—join us for exciting events leading up to Beat the Bridge to connect with the T1D community and get hyped for the big day!
