Subject: Tuscarora Trail 252 Mile 7 Day Stage Run
Hi all,
I’m announcing the Tuscarora Trail 252 Mile 7 Day Stage Run. The website www.tt252.com has all the details, if it doesn’t please let me know so I can
update it/correct it/fix it/etc.
Here are some quick details.
Dates: Sept 7 -13, 2008
Daily stages of 33.5, 36.2, 39.7, 28.1, 45.9, 38.4, 30.5 Miles.
Stages start and end at campsites on the Tuscarora Trail, except for one night in Hancock, MD. There will be HOT showers available at the campsites.
The entry fee is $500, (that’s $1.98 per mile for those of you who figure that stuff out) but read the details on the site, you need to have down a qualifying run. There is a relay option for those interested. Please read the site for details.
The entry fee pays for transportation when necessary (you will be your own transportation 90% of the time since you will be camping along the trail and starting and ending at these campsites), a simple breakfast, at least two aid stations per day, a campground dinner, campground fees, a hotel room in Hancock, MD, and more.
The set up allows for the runners to just run, not worry about a crew or finding and paying for food, buying and bringing aid station supplies, etc.
You will not need a crew, but if you want to bring someone to help out, please contact me so I can give you specific details.
I hope to keep it a low key event, much like the first one put on by Joe Clapper and David Horton a few years ago. So if you’re really fast, or reall y serious, or get upset because you’re having BBQ chicken two nights in a row, or can’t follow a trail marked by a PATC volunteer (the Tuscarora trail isn’t well marked in a few areas, on several occasions you might have to stop running, break out the map and guidebook and figure things out before continuing), or don’t like camping, or get upset when you don’t make a cutoff-time, or any number of other things – this isn’t the run for you.
Edited 25-6-24
This event was cancelled through insufficient dign-ups.
