Deer Dash 5K

The Deer Dash 5K is an annual chip-timed race held in New Market, Maryland, starting and finishing at Deer Crossing Elementary School. The 5K course runs through the scenic Summerfield neighborhood of Lake Linganore, offering a community-focused atmosphere that promotes healthy habits and supports local school programs. In addition to the main 5K, there is a non-timed 1-mile Fun Run on the school's recess grounds, welcoming participants of all ages.
