Swag

What is the Tuscarora Half Ass?
A FAT ASS run is usually an unsanctioned low key runs for runners & hikers and characterised by the phrase "No Fees, No Awards, No Aid, No Wimps".
A Half Ass Race, is an approved race with a small entry fee. We’ll have just enough Aid, Maybe some Awards, but definitely still “No Wimps!”

You can however purchase some sweet swag here
Meatball Runner Swag!

Post Race

Embrace the “Half Ass” spirit! We’ll provide a laid-back post-race experience with snacks, drinks, and some edible treats. Think of it as a casual mix of part tailgate and part 'the snacks a kid would eat when home alone'.
