Drop Deadlift Gorgeous, hosted by Solcana Fitness, is a volunteer-led, community-driven event designed to empower, support, and create visibility regarding the importance of trans+ inclusion in sport.
Trans+ rights - particularly within sports - are under attack.
Drop Deadlift Gorgeous brings athletes, organizations, and our community together to envision a more inclusive and joyful world through friendly competition - all while raising funds for trans+ and gender-expansive communities.
Join the party Saturday, September 27!
Drop Deadlift Gorgeous is free for spectators and open to the community. Here’s a peek at what you can expect this year:
The Hook and Ladder (10 a.m.–2 p.m.)
Watch 150 lifters angling for a big deadlift PR, showing off costumes and maybe sharing other talents on our outdoor platform. (Last year’s antics included folk dance, acrobatics and a mini pickleball match.)
Laugh and cheer with our fabulous emcees Carrie Bain (The Fat Narrative Project) and Emily Lund (Howdy Partner Dance).
Snag some always-incredible DDG merch celebrating this year’s fishing theme.
Head inside The Hook and Ladder to enter a prize raffle, meet our sponsors or just take a break from the sensory overload.
Arbeiter Brewing lot, 1–6 p.m.
Shop and chat with 25+ local vendors and community organizations. Expect adorable gifts, affordable art, home decor, books, accessories for you and your pet, onsite bodywork, cool causes to get involved with and so much more.
Snap up a snack from our food trucks: Eggroll Queen, Frios Gourmet Pops (including protein-enhanced options!), Habanero Tacos and Vegan Witt.
Grab a special-edition DDG beer (or fun N/A drink) from Arbeiter and toast to another great Drop Deadlift Gorgeous!
