The Mills Miles : Pittsford, NY
The Mills Miles is a Last Runner Standing format race held at Powder Mills Park with Race HQ at Powder Horn Lodge in Pittsford. The course is a one mile trail loop that begins across an open field, narrows to a single-track section with a short hill, then widens and rolls through the park, finishing with a gentle downhill on wider trails.
Each loop is a mass start with a predetermined time cutoff; runners who miss the cutoff are out. The event uses 25 timed laps followed by a final all-out lap. For final rankings, participants receive credit for any lap they complete, even if it is finished after the cutoff. There is an option to arrive after the initial start and join on the next lap; completed laps still count toward the final ranking.
Race HQ parking is available around the lodge and restrooms are located in the lodge. A nearby transition area will serve as an aid station with water, Skratch Labs hydration, Gu Energy gels in several flavors, fruit, candy, and additional supplies. Athletes may store personal hydration and gear in the transition area; the area may move indoors if conditions are damp.
A post-race gathering at the lodge includes a barbecue, beer and nonalcoholic beverages, awards for top overall male and female, and random giveaways. Registration policies include relaxed deadlines and no fees for transfers, deferrals, or distance changes; refunds are available through May 15, 2026.
