The Mills Miles - May 23, 2026

The Mills Miles is a Last Runner Standing format race held at Powder Mills Park in Pittsford, NY, with Race HQ at Powder Horn Lodge. The event uses a one-mile trail loop. Each loop is a mass start with a predetermined cutoff; 25 laps have time cutoffs and a 26th lap is an all-out final race. The course begins across an open field toward a creek, then narrows to a single-track section with a short hill, opens to rolling trails, and finishes with a gentle downhill on wider trails. The event has a "show up when you can" option so late arrivals may join at the next lap and have completed laps counted. Entry is free for participants under 18.

Registration costs $25.00 plus a $2.50 RunSignup fee. Withdrawal refunds are available for entries canceled before May 15; registration deferrals for next year are available before May 22.

A transition area next to the start and finish may serve as an aid station offering water, Skratch Labs hydration (lemon-lime and orange), Gu Energy gels, fruit, and candy; athletes may store personal gear there. Post-race provisions include a BBQ with hamburgers and hot dogs, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, awards for top overall male and female, and random giveaways.
