Millstone Loop

The Millstone Loop is a preview run of the new 25K course for the Millstone Trail Races, held at Anne Springs Close Greenway - Lake Haigler in Fort Mill, SC on July 11, 2026. The preview uses one loop of the 15.5 mile loop used for the Millstone Trail.

Event distances include:

25K preview loop
10K option for the Millstone Trail Races

PDF and CalTopo course maps are provided for both the 25K and 10K layouts. The CalTopo maps can be used on watches or phones to track position on the course. During the preview the course will be unmarked, so the provided maps are recommended for navigation.

This preview run is untimed. Registered runners who are not members of the Greenway will not be charged the daily Greenway fee; registration is required and free for the preview. Participants are asked to run with a watch and send their recorded results to the event contact to help set up logistics for the Millstone Trail Races the following February.
