About this race
Da Deer Run Run is a late-season trail race held at Timber Pointe Nature Center in Hudson, Illinois, offering 4K, 8K, and 3-hour race distances. It begins at 11:00 AM and concludes the Lake Run Club's season. This event suits runners seeking a shorter trail run, a longer timed effort, or a final club race before winter arrives. The race proceeds regardless of weather, including snow and mud, contributing to its distinct Midwest end-of-season atmosphere.
The course consists of two loops within Timber Pointe, incorporating segments from the Run the Wood race and additional winding paths. Runners will navigate paved trails, broad double-track, and short single-track sections. Wildlife commonly observed includes deer, wild turkey, and bald eagles. Partial proceeds benefit Timber Pointe Nature Center. Participants will receive sweatshirts, and chip timing is provided by itsracetime.com. Food and beverages will be available post-race inside Stern Lodge, located near the start and finish area.
