Pride Deadlift Party
IMPORTANT EVENT DETAILS:
What: Seattle’s Annual Pride Deadlift Party and Fundraiser!
Where: Rain City Fit: 1516 11th Ave Seattle, WA 98122. The event will take place on the street in front of Rain City Fit. Athlete Check-Ins and Warm-Ups will be taking place inside the gym. Queer/Bar will be open for food and drinks!
When: Saturday, June 21, 2025
What time should I arrive?: The first group of athletes will begin lifting at 12:00pm on the dot. Athlete Check-In will open up at 10:30am. Please do not arrive any earlier! We anticipate lifting to conclude around 4:00PM, with final announcements and event clean-up to conclude by 5:00pm.
Who is this event for?: We put on this event for YOU! The goal of this event is to show up and create space for our LGBTQIA2+ community and their allies. Strength sport events are meant to be fun, empowering, safe, and filled with community. Here, you will be welcomed and celebrated for existing exactly as you are.
In addition to deadlifting, there will be tattoos, food, music, a raffle, drag queens, performances, and more!
Family and friends are encouraged to come support and cheer on all the lifters and performers. There will be a $10 suggested donation entry fee that will go towards our fundraising goals. Everyone is welcome (except for homophobes and TERFs).
As a reminder, THIS IS A PRIDE EVENT. There will be Queer people in their beautiful Queer bodies, expressing themselves as authentically as they want. So consider this your warning (or enticement): you might see a butt cheek!
Why: To celebrate Pride by giving back to our community.

Closing Thoughts
After the last lifts are complete, we’ll share some closing reflections.
Then, help us clean up — and maybe continue the party! Our neighbors at Queer/Bar are graciously hosting the Pride Deadlift Official After-Party. All volunteers and lifters will get free entry to the MX Drag Show after the event! 🎉
