Tiger Peak Challenge

The Tiger Peak Challenge on June 27, 2026 takes place in Tiger Mountain State Forest near Issaquah, WA. The event offers three trail distances and uses Clark Elementary School as the start and finish location at 335 1st Ave SE, Issaquah.

  • 5 Mile: approx 600 ft elevation gain.
  • Half marathon: approx 4000 ft elevation gain.
  • 50K: approx 9000 ft elevation gain, two loops.

The Half and 50K courses visit two of Tiger Mountain's three peaks. The route includes a steep Section Line climb that gains over 1300 ft in less than one mile to the West Tiger 1 summit, ridge running, and varied singletrack through forests and wetlands on the Tradition Plateau. Course notes describe climbs to West Tiger summits, passages by West Tiger and High Point aid stations, and a Lap Aid Station that 50K runners pass to start a second loop.

Aid stations are placed on the courses with volunteers, food, and hydration; listed aid locations include mile markers for each distance. Trails remain open to other users during the event. The event is cupless; all runners must carry a refillable container. Woodland Speeders offers a free kids race of roughly 0.5 miles on mostly paved trail singletrack with some sidewalk and asphalt and a flat profile. Parking at the school is limited. The event includes handmade finisher swag produced using solar power and environmentally focused options such as Trees not Tees. The organizer acknowledges the Indigenous land of Coast Salish peoples and the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
