About
At this years Deer Run, the Lake Run Club added a three hour trail run in addition to the traditional 8K distance. The week leading up to the Deer Run, was cold and several inches of snow fell on the trails at Timberpointe. On race day, the temps hovered between 25-30 degrees with very little wind and the sun peaking through the clouds.
