Running with my Gnomies

Step into the mystical trails of Camp Tuscazoar on May 8, 2027, for an unforgettable running experience. This race promises to take you through uncharted paths and hidden corners where only gnomes typically venture. The event offers three distances: a challenging 9ish mile route, a scenic 25k loop, and the epic 50k adventure.
The course winds through the rolling hills of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, featuring single-track trails, bridle paths, and short stretches of gravel roads within Camp Tuscazoar's expansive grounds. Runners are encouraged to explore at their own pace while keeping an eye out for gnomes hiding among the rocks and trees.
Aid stations are generously stocked with essential supplies, ensuring you never run low on energy or hydration during your journey. Spectators can enjoy a lively atmosphere at the start/finish line, complete with music and a fire pit, providing ample space for children to play while they wait for runners to cross the finish line.
Every participant receives a race shirt and a unique gnome-themed medal upon completion. Age group awards are given in colorful, handmade gnomes for both male and female runners across various decades. The event boasts friendly volunteers who cheer you on every step of the way.
