The Mills Miles

The Mills Miles is a family-friendly Last Runner Standing format race in Powder Mills Park. Each 1-mile loop will be a mass start with a pre-determined time cutoff. If you miss the time cutoff, you are out. There will be 25 laps with a time cutoff and the 26th lap will be an all-out race.

Transition Area

The start and finish lines are right next to Powder Horn Lodge, separated by a a space that we will use as a transition area.

Athletes can also use this area to store their own hydration, fuel, and additional gear. If conditions are damp, we will move the transition area into the lodge.
