Fred Hutch’s 3rd Annual Obliteride will be rolling through Montlake again this summer on August 9, but in the meantime check out these fun new ways kids can participate this year, starting this Sunday.
• Sunday, May 17: Ob’little’ride: At this free event, kids ages 3–10 are invited to decorate their bikes and ride in a bike parade at University Village in Seattle. There’s also kids’ yoga, kids’ zumba and a performance by Mr. Brian & His Good Buddies, plus a balloon artist, trampoline and more. 11 a.m.–2 p.m.
• Saturday, July 11: Obliteride Kids’ Ride at Mercer Island Summer Celebration in Mercerdale Park. Kids ages 3-13 can ride a one-mile loop (or more loops, if they are ambitious); $20 to participate. If they are interested, kids can collect pledges for the number of laps they ride by downloading a pledge form on the Obliteride website.
• Sunday, August 9: Obliteride. Kids ages 10–17 can pedal their own bikes on the new Obliteride 10-mile route around Lake Union; while younger kids (3–9) can ride attached to their parent’s bike on a tag-along or tandem bike. (The accompanying parent must pay a $100 registration fee and commit to raising $500 to ride the 10-mile route.) Funds raised will be directed to women’s cancer research.
