Chills in the Mill: Harwoods Half Marathon & 5K : January 17, 2026
Chills in the Mill is a two-distance event held at Harwoods Mill Park. The event offers the following distances:
- Half Marathon
- 5K
The half marathon is limited to 200 runners and the 5K to 150 runners. Entry fees are non-refundable; deferrals are available through January 13 for a fee of $30 for the half marathon and $20 for the 5K. If the event is not sold out, same-day registration may be available at the start area.
Packet pick-up is onsite at Harwoods Mill Park on race day. Each runner must pick up their own packet; bibs are handed out before the race and shirts are available after the run. Parking is at McReynolds Athletic Complex, 412 Sports Way, Yorktown; participants and spectators are transported from that lot to the start area by shuttle, and there is no parking at the start.
The course combines wide trail roads and single-track bicycle paths and will be marked with directional signs, colored flags or ribbon, and cones. The course will not be groomed and can retain water; appropriate footwear is recommended. The half marathon has four aid stations (one also serves the 5K); stations are self-serve with water and electrolytes, and energy gels are available at aid station 3. A four-hour time limit applies to the half marathon. Pets are not allowed on the course or post-race field; ADA-recognized service animals are permitted and the organizer requests advance notification.
