Race Overview
The 8th annual Tuscazoar Race will be held at Camp Tuscazoar in the beautiful hills of Tuscarawas county on September 5th 2026. The race is a 25 mile loop. We changed the course in 2024 due to some trail construction and decided to keep that course. The course is 95% trail and hard to find in Ohio! We will Stay on Camp Tuscazoar property for the majority of the race except for a 5.5 mile section where we will go onto some private property. In addition to our traditional 100 mile, 75 mile, 50 mile and 25 mile races we have a option for 50 and 25 mile runners to do a 7:00 p.m. start! That’s right if you are looking for a chance to do a night run or run as a pacer and get some swag too this is it!
Tuscazoar Series
With the addition of the new Tuscazoar Raw race we have now have 3 very different races at Camp Tuscazoar so I have decided to create The Tuscazoar Series! Any runner who signs up for all 3 races will get a 15% discount and a series award. (still figuring out what the award will be should know before long) You can sign up for any distance for each race. So if you are thinking of running the series check out the other races in the series "Running With My Gnomies" 5/9/2026 and "Tuscazoar Raw" 6/20/2026 Contact the race director at Racebrimstone@gmail.com for special series entry code.
