Morning: January Winter Conditioning Runs: 5-7 miles - West Tiger Mountain No. 3

Cable Line is one of the best conditioners! We will be covering ~5.9 miles and 2,531 feet of elevation gain. Since the trail up can be steep, we will hike uphill at a moderate pace. Once at the summit, we will pause for a brief snack and hydration break, change shirts if you so desire (can get cold quick), and then hike/jog over to Tiger #2. We can then run down West Tiger #2 Trail, West Tiger RR Grade, and then West Tiger #3 - which is a fantastic trail to go down. Please bring a headlamp, since we will be starting in the dark!

For a complete description of  trail running with the Mountaineers, please consult the Trail Running Standards.
