The Tiger Claw Big Cat is a two-day combo challenge combining both the Friday evening Ascent and the Saturday 50k at a bundled entry price. Runners first summit West Tiger 2 via the Cable Line's brutal 2,500-foot climb on Friday night, then return the next morning to take on all three Tiger Mountain loops. It's the ultimate Tiger Mountain weekend — nearly 12,000 feet of total vertical across two days. Only a limited number of Big Cat spots are available each year.

Combines the Friday Ascent and Saturday 50k for over 11,000 ft of vertical in two days

Big Cat finishers receive both the rabbit ice bandana and the Run N Chill hoodie

Only a handful of Big Cat spots offered each year — 10 available for 2026
