Help STOMP out Alzheimer's and participate in the stoopidest & funnerest run you'll ever do!!

5kish run through Deerfly infested woods of Grand Mere State Park. Catch deer flies with a Tred- Not Deerfly Patch & raise $$$ to help fight Alzheimer's disease.

Catch deer flies with a Tred- Not Deerfly Patch (on your hat...BRING A HAT!!!) & raise $$$ to help fight Alzheimer's disease. Although we hope your time flies with us (see what I did there?), this is not a timed event.

The winner is the STOMPER who catches the most number of deer flies. Yes, we will actually count the deer flies. Rules? There's not a lot of rules...the "Dee Berry" rule (you can't steal somebody else's patch) is the only real rule. Prizes to top 3 STOMPERS!

FYI This is year 17 of the Jack Settles Deerfly Stomp!!! (Plus a few years of informal stomping...) Over the past 16 years we have caught approximately 3500 deerflies (plus at least 1 horsefly...grrrr) AND donated over $14,000 to the Alzheimer's Association!

Alzheimer's Facts:

6.9 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. That number is expected to grow to 13 million by 2050.

Health and long-term care costs for people living with dementia are projected to reach $360 billion in 2024 and nearly $1 trillion in 2050.

About 1 in 9 people (10.9%) age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s dementia.

1 IN 3 Seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia.

It kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

The lifetime risk for Alzheimer's at age 45 is 1 in 5 for women and 1 in 10 for men.

Alzheimer's disease was the fifth-leading cause of death among people age 65 and older in 2021.

    Join us for the Run for the Buds 5K, where every stride supports Michigan’s largest and oldest multi-community festival—a cherished tradition in Southwest Michigan for over a century! This vibrant event isn’t just a race; it’s a way to honor our region’s rich agricultural heritage, bring communities together, and ensure the magic of the Grand Floral Parade continues to bloom for generations to come.

    As you race through the scenic course, you’ll be running alongside history, culture, and the spirit of unity that makes the Blossomtime Festival so special. Proceeds directly contribute to keeping this beloved tradition alive, supporting the parade a cornerstone of Southwest Michigan’s identity.
