What is the Tuscarora Yomp?
The Tuscarora Yomp (TY) (a British Commando term for a long-distance march) is a new concept for the USA and is one of the toughest events you can find.
TY will be taking place on the 30 October – 1 November 2023 alone on the trail of the Bluemont Mountains starting and finishing at Boulder Crest Retreat (CR) Bluemont VA teams tackle the challenge over 44 miles (gold) in 24 hours over the tough terrain of the Appalachian mountain wilderness. You can also sign up for the silver or bronze distances (34 and 22 miles respectively).
Why Take Part?
Sign up with friends, family, and colleagues to experience an unforgettable weekend whilst raising money for wounded, ill, and injured (WII), caregivers, active duty and veterans, and their families. Whichever distance you choose, you can test both your physical and mental limits whilst trekking through some truly breathtaking scenery.
