WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE TEST OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL, & GASTROINTESTINAL STRENGTH

Join us on October 19, 2024 in Seattle.

We’re back to celebrate the memory of Ian Cox with the revival of his fabled running adventure: The Dick’s-A-Thon.

The Dick’s-A-Thon is a circumnavigation of Seattle via the classic hamburger drive-in, Dick’s, making a 26-mile loop of the city while eating the famed Dick’s menu items along the way. It is a grueling test of 3 areas of fitness: physical, mental, and gastrointestinal. All proceeds are donated to the Mountaineers Access Fund, Washington’s National Park Fund, and five Washington search and rescue organizations: Snohomish County SAR, King County SAR, Seattle Mountain Rescue, Washington State SAR Planning Unit, Whatcom County SAR. Your participation (running, eating, volunteering, or donating) provides safer access to the outdoors for all.
