Description

Description
It’s back! (and hopefully back for good!) After a 7 year pause and a change of ownership, The Deer Lake trail run is back. The former Deer Lake Scout camp is now the Deer Lake Outdoor Center; a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Come to rural Killingworth CT to run (or hike)  the Deer Lake Trail Run. The challenging 5(ish)-mile course (involving almost 500 ft of elevation gain!) traverses the 253-acre property and offers many scenic views as you navigate the ever-changing elevations on well-marked trails that span the property. This is a true trail course and the technical nature of the terrain will mean that you will be exposed to rocks, roots, possible mud, etc. There will be awards for male & female winners of numerous age groups as well as the overall male & female winners. T-Shirts guaranteed for the first 100 entrees.
