    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!

    Alzheimer's Facts:

    6.9 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. That number is expected to grow to 13 million by 2050.

    Health and long-term care costs for people living with dementia are projected to reach $360 billion in 2024 and nearly $1 trillion in 2050.

    1 IN 3 Seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia.

    It kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. 

    The lifetime risk for Alzheimer's at age 45 is 1 in 5 for women and 1 in 10 for men.

    Alzheimer's disease was the fifth-leading cause of death among people age 65 and older in 2021.

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.
