Ginger Runner

Tiger Claw is a trail-running event centered on the rugged terrain of Tiger Mountain in Washington’s Issy Alps. Presented by Rabbit, the event invites experienced runners to take on steep climbs, technical trails and demanding descents beneath a forest canopy of fir and moss. Its signature challenge features three ascents of Tiger Mountain’s western peaks, with participants choosing the order of the routes. To earn an official Tiger Claw finish, runners must complete all three loops within the stated time limit.

The event offers several race options, including the Tiger Claw 50K, the Ascent and the Ambush, with race weekend scheduled for May 7 and 8, 2027. The website provides registration, race information, packet pickup details, accommodation guidance, rules, results, media, recap videos and photo galleries. It also invites people to volunteer and shares information for crews and visitors. Tiger Claw emphasizes that this is a very challenging experience, not a first trail race, and recommends prior trail-running or ultrarunning experience and the ability to remain self-sufficient for extended periods.
