About this race
Help STOMP out Alzheimer's and participate in the stoopidest & funnerest run you'll ever do!!
5kish run through Deerfly infested woods of Grand Mere State Park. Catch deer flies with a Tred- Not Deerfly Patch & raise $$$ to help fight Alzheimer's disease.
Catch deer flies with a Tred- Not Deerfly Patch & raise $$$ to help fight Alzheimer's disease. Although we hope your time flies with us (see what I did there?), this is not a timed event. The winner will be determined by who "caught" the most number of deer flies. Yes, we will actually count the deer flies. Rules? There are no set in stone rules accept you must have deer flies to be in the running to win (see what I did there again?). Prizes to top 3 collectors!
FYI This is year 15 of the Jack Settles Deerfly Stomp!!! (Plus a few years of informal stomping...) Over the past 14 years we have caught approximately 2700 deerflies (plus at least 1 horsefly...grrrr) AND donated over $11,000 to the Alzheimer's Association!
