Ian Cox Memorial Dick's-a-thon Fundraiser

The Dick’s-A-Thon is a 26.3-mile running event that circumnavigates each of Seattle’s Dick’s Drive-ins. Established in honor of Ian Cox, this marathon continues Ian’s legacy of encouraging the community to seek adventure by getting outside their comfort zones, both physically and gustatorily. All proceeds from the event are donated to The Mountaineers Access Fund Scholarship, five search and rescue organizations, and the Washington National Parks Fund.

During the event, runners are required to skillfully stomach the entirety of Dick’s menu. If keeping spirits up while keeping a meal down is new to you, don’t worry. The event organizers have provided accessible training plans not only for running, but eating as well.
