THESE TRAILS HAVE HISTORY
Tiger Mountain, the biggest of The Issy Alps, has long been the training ground to some of trail running’s greatest runners. Technical trails, relentless climbs and quad-blowing descents make for perfect training and trail fun. Never has a race like this existed in the Issy Alps - until now. This is your chance to explore some of the toughest grinds under the lush canopy of fir and moss. Tiger Claw is a unique challenge consisting of three of the most difficult ascents of Tiger Mountain’s West peaks. The best part, you choose the order in which you ascend! To EARN an official Tiger Claw finisher, you must complete all three loops within the allotted time cutoff.
Do you have what it takes to tame the Tiger?
We want to acknowledge that this event takes place on the original homelands of the Duwamish & Coast Salish people.
WARNING: Tiger Claw should NOT be your first trail race.
There are many factors to consider when registering for Tiger Claw beyond distance and vertical gain. This is a VERY challenging race experience. Trail conditions, technical terrain and weather will all play a huge role. Being self sufficient for hours at a time and having past trail running or ultrarunning experience is a must.
