About us

Pride Deadlift Party is Seattle’s Annual Deadlift Competition and Fundraiser to give back to the local LGBTQIA2+ community!

Think: block party meets deadlift competition… with a little sprinkle of queer magic on top!

100% of proceeds raised will be donated to our chosen beneficiaries. Everybody deserves a spot on the platform, including and especially Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (TGNC) athletes. We cannot wait to lift, laugh, and celebrate with you—and give back to our community in a big, unapologetic, joyful way.

Rain City Fit

1516 11th Ave. Seattle, WA

Event Starts at 12PM (noon)

Whether you’re an experienced powerlifter or total beginner, this event was created just for you! Come test out your 1 rep max in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment. Last year we had 250 competitors. This year, we plan on going just a little bit bigger! Spots are anticipated to go fast. Register now to be a part of the biggest Pride Deadlift fundraiser in HISTORY!!

The goal of Pride Deadlift Party is provide a space to strive towards collective liberation and transformation within strength sports. We believe that strength is for everybody and that lifting events should be inclusive for every sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, and gender identity. Furthermore, trans athletes belong on the platform and will always be welcome and celebrated while lifting with us.

This is a TERF and hate-free event. Period.

Last year Rain City Fit raised over $50,000 through to go towards our local Seattle LGBTQIA2+ community.
