Event summary
Join the excitement at the Jack Settles Deerfly Stomp 2025, set to take place on Saturday, July 12, 2025, in the picturesque Stevensville, Berrien. This unique and spirited event combines fun and philanthropy as participants embark on a 5K-ish run through the delightful Deerfly-infested woods of Grand Mere State Park. Not only will you enjoy an unforgettable experience, but you'll also have the opportunity to help STOMP out Alzheimer's disease while competing to catch the most deer flies!
This is not your typical timed race; the true winner is the STOMPER who collects the highest number of deer flies, with prizes awarded to the top three collectors. Over the past 16 years, the Deerfly Stomp has captured approximately 3,100 deer flies and raised over $12,000 for the Alzheimer's Association, making a significant impact in the fight against this devastating disease. So, gather your friends and family, grab your Tred-Not Deerfly Patch, and get ready for a day filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a cause worth supporting. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind event that’s sure to be the stoopidest and funnerest run you'll ever
