IWL 5K

The 2026 Run With The Deer Flies 25K, 15K, and 8K will be held on Sunday, July 26, 2026. Three distances to choose from, including the 8K that was added last year. This proved to be a popular addition for new trail runners as well as those who would like a shorter distance.

We are looking forward to returning to Camp Seph Mack near Penn Run, PA and hope to see you there. The Deer Fly is directed by trail runners for trail runners.

The Deer Fly is a fun and challenging trail race with a mix of single-track trails, pipeline roads, swamps, hills, and creek crossings. Aid stations approximately every four miles, but carrying water is strongly recommended. Post-race Bona's Pizza compliments of Steve Pagano.

The Deer Fly benefits Indiana County Parks & Trails and Citizens' Ambulance Service.

Everyone has been touched by mental illness in some way--either through our own struggle or through witnessing the struggle of a friend or family member. Please help put an end to the stigma of mental illness by joining us for the 6th Torrance Trot (benefitting the Torrance State Hospital-Patient Fund). Awards will be given to the top overall male/female finisher and top finisher in each age group.

Together, as a community, we will no longer stand for judgment and we will recognize that ALL people deserve to live their best possible

Join us for the Teresa J. Martin Memorial 5K Walk/Run, a meaningful community event held in loving memory of Teresa J. Martin, who passed away from ALS in October 2023.

Teresa was an avid walker who found joy, strength, and peace in every step she took. This 5K honors her love of walking while bringing our community together to raise awareness and funds to support the fight against ALS.

Whether you choose to run, walk, or stroll, every step you take helps support ALS research and services for individuals and families affected by this devastating disease. This event is open to participants of all ages and fitness levels—just as Teresa would have wanted.

Come walk in her memory, celebrate her life, and help us move closer to a world without ALS.

💙 Together, we walk for Teresa. Together, we walk for a cure.
