Event Overview
Tuscazoar Raw is a trail running event held at Camp Tuscazoar in Dover, Ohio. It offers three race distances: 100K, 50K, and 25K. The 100K distance features approximately 10,500 feet of total elevation gain. The event has a 20-hour cutoff time for all distances.
Course Details
The race starts and finishes at the Stockade building near the camp's main parking lot. The course consists of two main loops. The first is a 19-mile loop. The second is a separate 12-mile loop. This creates a figure-eight layout. The 100K race requires completing this figure-eight twice. The 50K race requires completing it once. The 25K distance splits off from the 19-mile loop to achieve its total distance. The terrain is primarily trails with about 1.5 miles of packed gravel camp road.
Race Information
Packet pickup is available on the day before the race and on race morning. The event is a cupless race, so participants must carry their own hydration vessel (e.g., vest, bottle) for refilling at aid stations. Pacers are not permitted for any distance.
