Seattle, Wa. — Thousands of riders, walkers and supporters will fill Gas Works Park this weekend to help cure cancer faster with Obliteride.
This is the sixth year for the annual fundraising bike ride supporting Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. KING 5 is a proud sponsor of Obliteride.
Riders can choose their distance of 25, 50 or 100 miles. New this year is a chance for even more people to participate through a 5K walk.
