The Tuckahoe 25k

The Tuckahoe 25k is a trail race in Queen Anne, Maryland, on November 21, 2026. It offers one format, a 25K (15.5 miles) on the trails of Tuckahoe, on Maryland's Eastern Shore. With a single distance and a single field, the event stays small and focused: one start, one course, one finish, with none of the logistics that come with a multi-distance weekend.

Fifteen and a half miles is an underrated racing distance. It is long enough that pacing errors show up, short enough that you do not need an ultra training block, and it slots neatly between a half marathon and a first 50K in a season plan. Eastern Shore terrain is flat compared with the mountains to the west, so this is a good place to practice running — not hiking — continuously for two hours or more on dirt.
