Chirico Tenpeat

Meet other members of the Seattle-area running community at this low-key event: Do up to 10 repeats of the Chirico Trail on Tiger Mountain!

This is a low-key training day for all. Come do 1 repeat, 2 repeats…as many as you want up to 10 repeats (which ends up being a 55k with almost 17k climbing) on the Chirico Trail on Tiger Mountain.

There is one aid station at the bottom and we will have water and potluck-style food and drinks. Bring something to share. Or not! You don’t need to. Just come and do a repeat or two and socialize.

It’s a great day to meet people and train for spring and summer events.

Each out-n-back is about 3.6 miles with ~1,660 feet of climbing. Aid station will be by the trailhead or you can use your own car. A Tiger hat will be given to the first male and female to finish the 10-peat starting at 7am.

To “win” the Tiger hat tho, you must start at 7am. (First male and female to complete the 10-peat win a Tiger hat that MUST be returned the following year)

There is also a 12-hour endurance challenge where participants do as many repeats as they can in a 12-hour period.

No cost, no aid (well, sort of), no frills. Just you and the mountain 🙂

Directions to parking lot / trailhead: take Front St exit (exit 17) off I90 and drive about 3 miles on Front Street (turns into Issaquah Hobart Rd) and parking lot (and a big field) will be on your left.

If the lot is full, park at Squak Valley Park Fields and walk the short distance to Chirico Trailhead.
