Tuckahoe 25K

Embark on a captivating trail adventure at the Tuckahoe 25K, set for Saturday, November 21, 2026, in the scenic Tuckahoe State Park, Queen Anne, MD. This 25-kilometer (approximately 15.5 miles) race is celebrated as an ideal distance for both burgeoning trail runners and seasoned athletes seeking a swift and enjoyable experience. The course winds through the park's rich forested habitats and wooded marshlands, primarily on non-technical single-track trails, complemented by wider horse trails. While generally runnable, expect undulating hills, some rooty sections, and the possibility of muddy patches, promising a true trail running experience where getting dirty is part of the fun.

As the 8th annual iteration of this beloved event, the Tuckahoe 25K is more than just a race; it's a community-driven effort by Algonquin Ultras Inc. and the Centreville Crushers Running Club, dedicated to promoting and maintaining trails across Delmarva. Runners will find ample support along the way with three well-stocked aid stations offering water, electrolyte drinks, gels, and a variety of sweet and salty "real food" to keep you fueled. Typical race day conditions in late November see highs around 56°F and lows near 39°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, so be prepared for anything from crisp autumn air to potentially cold, rainy, or muddy conditions – this event runs rain, snow, or sleet.

The course, featuring a modified large loop and a shorter out-and-back, promises picturesque views of the Tuckahoe Creek Valley, occasionally incorporating charming bridges and even a potential water crossing, depending on recent weather. With its inviting trails and supportive atmosphere, the Tuckahoe 25K delivers a memorable challenge, complete with awards for top finishers and swag for all participants, making it a standout event on the Eastern Shore.
