Mill Chill : The Race
The event is based at Rocky Mount Mills, 1151 Falls Road, Rocky Mount, NC. It includes a longer race and a shorter fun run or walk that start and finish at the mill and use nearby Battle Park.
The Four Mile course begins and ends at Rocky Mount Mills and passes along Battle Park beside the Tar River. Shortly before the halfway point the route crosses the river on what was once the longest wooden suspension bridge in the United States. The 1.5 Mile Fun Run and Walk starts with the Four Mile field and turns around shortly after entering the park, making it appropriate for young participants or people who plan to walk.
All participants receive a race shirt, a customized race number, and a commemorative item. Runners in the Four Mile are eligible for awards by age group, with categories from roughly 8–14 up to 70 and over. Pace Yourself Run Company provides over $600 in gift certificates for overall and age group winners.
The event includes a Brewery Throwdown team competition with combined team scores and separate men's and women's results. Minimum age guidelines follow youth running fundamentals: the Four Mile minimum age is 8 and the 1.5 Mile minimum age is 6. Participants aged eight or nine are strongly encouraged to run with a registered adult. Proceeds benefit the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
