A benefit endurance event is planned to raise money towards finding a cure for kidney disease.

The Seattle 100 is scheduled to take place Friday, June 20 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Pacific Raceways in Auburn, Washington, in conjunction with an Adrenaline Freaks Track Day. According to organizers, it’s not a race, but an endurance event to raise money for the NephCure Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding the cause and cure of glomerular kidney disease.

This event will include 15 sponsored riders who will be seeking cash pledges based on the number of laps they complete. Each rider’s goal is to do 100 laps, 230 miles, by the lap deadline of 4:00 p.m. with all money raised going to the NephCure Foundation.

Seattle 100 T-shirts are for sale to help commemorate the event. The shirts cost $16 each, and will be sold before, during, and after the event, with all proceeds being donated. The T-shirts will be available on the Saturday and Sunday following the Seattle 100, during a WMRRA race weekend at Pacific Raceway.
