Description

Mountain Running Races is excited to bring back the 3rd annual Running Up For Air – Tiger Mountain in Issaquah, Washington for 2025. As part of the Up For Air Series, RUFA – Tiger Mountain is a 12, two person 12, 6 and 3 hour endurance challenge designed to bring awareness to climate change and we will be supporting Washington Conservation Action.

Why A Winter Event

In 2022 we experienced a weather occurrence that is becoming more common in the Seattle area, an inversion. The inversion brings with it higher pollution levels and health risks. Winter is also the time when other forms of pollutants are on the rise due to the use of wood burning heat and warming up of cars for long periods. We are also experiencing yearly forest fires with high AQI. Let's make a difference now!

Location:

Start/Finish area is at Issaquah High School. Each loop is 9 miles with 3,000+ feet of vert. We will have a warming tent, aid station with warm food, beverages, and large participant drop bag tent, at the Start/Finish area, along with limited water and aid at the West Tiger 1 Hiker's Hut.

Supporting Local Air Quality Solutions

The Up For Air Series brings endurance athletes together to celebrate a shared passion for running, amplify informed dialogue about air quality issues, and support organizations that are working toward solutions. We strive for a minimal footprint on the trails but maximal impact on the nonprofits fighting for cleaner air in our communities.

Land Acknowledgement
