Deer Lake Trail Run
The Deer Lake Trail Run takes place at the Deer Lake Outdoor Center in Killingworth, Connecticut. This property consists of over 250 acres of green space and a dense network of trails managed by a nonprofit organization dedicated to outdoor education. Participants follow a course that covers approximately 5 miles of terrain within the rural landscape.
The route is a technical trail course that includes approximately 500 feet of elevation gain. Runners and hikers navigate well-marked paths that feature varying elevations and natural obstacles such as rocks, roots, and potential mud. The trails offer several scenic views throughout the property as the terrain changes.
