Cougar Vs. Tiger

This weekend is not just Mother’s Day, on the same Saturday are two trail races almost right next to each other on Seattle’s Eastside in the Issaquah Alps:

• For the 20th year running the Cougar Mountain Trail Run, a 5.1-mile & 10.8-mile run to kickoff a trail running series put together by Seattle Running Club and Northwest Trail Runs happens on Cougar Mountain.
• And the newer Tiger Claw on Tiger Mountain, an ascent race, 50K and 50Miler beginning and ending in Issaquah and put on by Ethan Newberry’s Ginger Runner.
