The Run With The Deer Flies is a trail running event held at Camp Seph Mack near Penn Run, Pennsylvania. This event features three distinct trail distances:
- 25K trail run

The races are managed by trail runners and follow a course consisting of single-track trails, pipeline roads, swamps, hills, and creek crossings. Each distance is limited to 100 participants per race.
Facilities and Support
Aid stations are located approximately every four miles along the course, though participants are encouraged to carry their own water. Following the completion of the race, pizza is provided for participants. Finishers receive a medal, and a tradition of the event includes providing "Deer Fly Swatters" to runners.

Registration includes a race shirt for those who sign up by the specific July deadline; after this date, shirts are distributed based on remaining supplies. The event also includes random drawings for local restaurant gift cards across the different race distances.
