Tiger Peak Challenge

June 29th, 2024
The name says it all — challenge! If you’re looking for a race to make your legs come alive, this is the one for you. Our Tiger Peak Challenge will have you climbing two of Tiger Mountain’s peaks, and if that doesn’t satisfy your need for elevation, you can always run them again!

Located near Issaquah, WA, Tiger Mountain State Forest is a 13,745-acre working forest that includes the West Tiger Mountain Natural Resources Conservation Area. Tiger Mountain offers many recreational opportunities, including hiking; mountain biking; equestrian trails; hang gliding; paragliding; and, of course, some of the best trail running in the area.

Race Notes:
Good News! Logging operations are complete, and we should be back to our original course for 2023! Sorry to those of you who enjoyed the bonus 2 miles!

All distances start with the same stretch of trail, but the 5M runners have a smaller loop than the half-marathoners. The brave 50K runners will do the half-marathon loop twice and then the 5-mile loop.

The trails will be open to other users during the event. See our FAQ page for more information about sharing the trails.

There will be aid stations throughout the course with volunteers to help, food to eat, and hydration to refuel. And of course, there will be an assortment of yummy food and treats waiting for you at the finish line.

This is a cupless race. All runners should carry with them a refillable container that they can run with. There will be a limited number of cups for emergency situations.
