Get ready for a fantastic day of fitness and fun at the TuscParks Annual Canal Tavern of Zoar 5K Run and Walk on Sunday, October 19th, 2025! Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, this chip-timed race will take participants on a scenic journey between Fort Laurens in Bolivar and the Canal Lands Park trailhead in Zoar. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking to enjoy a leisurely walk, this event is perfect for all ages and fitness levels.

After the race, join in the celebrations at an Octoberfest-style party on the patio of the Canal Tavern of Zoar, where you can relax, mingle, and enjoy tasty treats.
