“The Toughest 'Fun Ride' in Puget Sound”

P2P is an event with a unique combination of intense physical challenge, adventure, fun and camaraderie in a beautiful setting ‒ an event that participants remember and share, especially online.

What makes P2P different from other rides? We pride ourselves on making the experience feel like a party on wheels!

Our dedicated team of volunteers, including many junior rowers, greet riders at each of our 18 checkpoints, the Sandwich Stop and the finish area – all of which are sponsored. Wearing costumes and providing comedic relief, they stand ready to collect clothing, stamp passports and hand out refreshments.

This year is the 10th Passport2Pain, the Decade of Pain. Riders know this ride, even if they haven't done it yet. It's on every serious cyclist's list.

Our advertisers are associated with an event that promotes fitness and camaraderie, and is well-supported by the Vashon community. We are grateful to all of them
– to all of you – for making P2P a success.
