We are so excited for our 2023 Refuse To Abuse® 5K! This year, we will be welcoming 1750 participants to T-Mobile Park, and we can't wait to see all of you!

This event has always been a time to celebrate the resilience of survivors and the power of community.


Will there be any changes to the race from years past?

This year's event is taking place on SUNDAY, JUNE 4th. This will be the first time the 5K is held in June and on a Sunday! 

This year, there will be no virtual registration options. For our in-person participants, we will not be mailing your race bags if you are not able to attend on race day. We thank you in advance for your understanding!


What COVID-19 restrictions will be in place?

We will be following the King County and T-Mobile Park COVID-19 guidelines on the day of the event. As of now, masks and proof of vaccination will not be required. If the state or local ordinances change, we will adapt and abide by those. 


About the event 

The Refuse To Abuse® 5K is a unique event that takes you around every level of T-Mobile Park, from the top of the players' tunnel to the final lap around the field. Stepping out on the field level of a major league ball park is an awe-inspiring moment that few have experienced! Funds raised benefit the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence and their statewide violence prevention and education work. 

Refuse To Abuse® is a 27-year partnership between the Seattle Mariners and the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV). With spokespeople that included Kyle Seager, Justus Sheffield, and Scott Servais, Refuse To Abuse® has reached millions of Mariners fans over the past 27 years with messages that promote healthy, respectful relationships.
