CREW INFO ACCOMMODATIONS

2021 UPDATE: Our pre-race Social is TBD pending COVID protocols & regulations. We will email and update this page as more information becomes available.

This event is NOT open to the public. The Tiger Claw Social will be located at the SPRINGHILL SUITES - ISSAQUAH. While runners can also pick up with their bibs the morning of the race between 4:30am and 5:45am from the registration table, we hope as many as possible will join us on Friday.

2021 UPDATE: Due to COVID regulations, there is no crewing allowed and spectating cannot occur at either the lower or upper aid stations.

While there is no pacing allowed or crewing along the course, crew can spectate the runners from the Lower Aid Station located at the High Point Way Trailhead. You can find this trailhead on Google maps HERE. Please park along SE 79th Street before the gate at the bottom of the parking lot. You can walk up the road or trail .4 miles to the Aid Station located just West of the parking lot on the Puget Power Road.

Runners can be crewed at the Lower Aid Station only. Runners cannot receive aid more than 100 meters outside of the Aid Station. No crew can access the Upper Aid Station. Failure to follow these rules can risk disqualifying their runner.

Issaquah, Washington - home to the legendary Issy Alps - is a bustling city about 25 minutes east of Seattle along the I-90 corridor. What was once a small logging town is now vibrant with restaurants, breweries, coffee shops and plenty of big city amenities. There are many hotels and sleep accommodations available, here are some of our recommendations.

GETTING HERE

If you are coming from out of state, our recommendation is to fly into SeaTac airport and rent a car. It’s pretty easy to navigate from the airport to Issaquah via Interstate 5 and Interstate 90. The drive could take anywhere from 40-90 minutes depending on time of day and traffic, so plan ahead.
