Jack Settles Deerfly Stomp 2025

Join us for the 16th annual Jack Settles Deerfly Stomp on Saturday, July 12, 2025, in the picturesque Stevensville, Berrien! This unique event invites you to take part in a quirky 5K run through the Deerfly-infested woods of Grand Mere State Park, all in support of the noble cause of combating Alzheimer's disease. Challenge yourself to catch as many deer flies as you can with a Tred-Not Deerfly Patch, as this is not a timed race but a fun competition! Prizes await the top three collectors, promising a day filled with laughter, camaraderie, and community spirit. With over 16 years of history, participants have caught approximately 3,100 deer flies and raised over $12,000 for the Alzheimer's Association, making a tangible impact in the fight against this disease affecting 6.9 million Americans. Don't miss this unforgettable opportunity to make a difference while enjoying a day outdoors!
