Kaiser Permanente STP presented by Alaska Airlines

Registration for non-members opens on February 13.

This 200+ mile bicycle ride is the largest multi-day bicycle event in the Northwest, with up to 10,000 participants riding from Seattle to Portland in one or two days.

The route takes you through the scenic valleys, forests, and farmlands of western Washington and Oregon. Come ride what Bicycling Magazine has listed as one of the best cycling events in the nation!

The majority of the ride is on beautiful, rolling rural roads. For a 200+ mile ride, the route is pretty flat with the “Big Hill” coming at the 45-mile mark. It’s a mile long with about a 7 percent grade.  Then there is a 15-mile stretch of rolling small hills shortly after the halfway point, the Longview bridge over the Columbia River crossing into Oregon and the bridges going into Portland.

Enjoy:

• An epic journey connecting two of America's great bicycling cities

• The choice of a one-day or two-day event 

• An amazing network of volunteers and organizations to help you reach the finish line

• A diverse community of cyclists working towards one common goal: Portland or BUST!

Fun Facts:

• 10,000 registered riders from 7 countries and 45 states

• Eldest rider: 89

• 8,212 Washington riders (2,433 from Seattle)

• 1,242 Oregon riders (573 from Portland)

STP sells out to its max. capacity of 10,000 riders every year (often by March). Don't delay!

While we haven't released the exact route for 2018, we expect few changes from 2017. 

The mid-point is Centralia College.
