It doesn’t get prettier than Carver’s Creek State Park in October! At Deerfly we bring you a technical singletrack trail race through the pine forest, offered as a 6k or an 11k. Expect roots, punchy climbs, enough grit to earn the finish. And bring your dog — Deerfly has its own dog division, where four-legged runners get their own bib and a finisher award of their own. A true trail runner's course, for you and your best training partner!
