Da Deer Run Run

Da Deer Run Run is a cross country style trail event held at the Timber Pointe Nature Center at Lake Bloomington. The race path includes a 50/50 mix of paved trails, wide double track sections, and short single track paths, incorporating some gravel road segments. The course features twists and turns through the nature center, including sections used in the Run the Wood race. Participants may observe local wildlife such as deer, wild turkey, and bald eagles during the event.

The event proceeds partially benefit the Timber Pointe Nature Center. After the race, food and beverages are provided inside the Stern Lodge, which is located near the start and finish line. Registration for the 8K and 3-hour events includes a themed sweatshirt for those who register before the designated cutoff date. All participants in the event receive a membership or renewal for the Lake Run Club.

The event offers three distinct distance options:

  • 4K: A single lap of the course.
  • 8K: Two loops of the 4K course.
  • 3 Hours plus the 8K: Participants run as many laps as possible over three hours before joining the standard 8K race.

Timing services are provided via chip timing, and results are available on the day of the race. The event takes place regardless of weather conditions, including rain, snow, or mud. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
