The Mills Miles

The Mills Miles

The Mills Miles is a Last Runner Standing format event held at Powder Mills Park in Pittsford, NY with race headquarters at Powder Horn Lodge. It is presented as a one-time event standing in for TrailsROC Last Runner Standing, and some proceeds will be donated to TrailsROC for trail maintenance. Entry is free for participants under 18.

The race uses a repeated one mile loop. Each loop is a mass start with a pre-determined time cutoff; runners who miss a cutoff are out. There are 25 laps with time cutoffs followed by a final all out lap. Final rankings credit any lap a runner completes, even if the lap is finished after the cutoff. A show up when you can option allows participants who arrive after the initial start to check in and join at the next lap; completed laps still count toward rankings.

The course is a one mile trail loop through Powder Mills Park. The opening tenth of a mile crosses an open field toward a creek and then narrows onto single track with a short hill. The trail then widens and rolls through the park, finishing with a gentle downhill quarter mile on wider trails.

A transition area next to the lodge will serve as an aid station with water, hydration mixes, energy gels, fruit, candy, and space for personal gear. Post-race provisions include a BBQ, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options, awards for top overall male and female, and random giveaways.

Registration policies include relaxed deadlines and no fees for participant transfers or deferrals through May 22, 2026, and refunds through May 15, 2026 that return 100% of the registration fee but exclude RunSignup fees. The race director may disqualify participants for unsporty actions such as abusive behavior, littering or tampering with course markings, receiving aid outside designated areas, pacing by non-participants, or course-cutting.
