Mill Towns Race Series

Personal. Approachable. Logistically Easy. We are the Mill Towns Race Series!

All races are all chip-timed; the marathon is a Boston-qualifying, certified course.

Take the stress out of racing toward your next PR or running your first half marathon or marathon.

The races start and finish in Memorial Park in the Mill Town of Dundas, where you'll also park, pick up your bib and enjoy pre- and post-race nutrition. We will have water stops, finish line food and fun, race bibs and finisher medals.

We won't have long lines, parking headaches or an expo to add to your schedule.

Start Times:

• 7:30 AM - Marathon
• 8 AM - Half Marathon
• 8:30 AM - 10K
  

About The Course (USATF Certification MN24023MAB): From the start at Memorial Park, the looping course follows paved trails along the east and west sides of the Cannon River to and from Northfield, the other "Mill Town." The scenic, tree-lined route is flat and provides multiple opportunities for your fans to see you - at the start, finish and each loop through Memorial Park, if you're running the marathon or half marathon. While we don't have pacers, you can bring your own pacer as we do allow bandits to run with you for one or two of the 6-mile loops.

Cut-off Time: Runners must be through the last aid station on the course by 1:30 PM. It is about 2 miles from the finish. 

Charity Partner: Project Purple, supporting pancreatic cancer research and patient financial aid. There is a fundraising option upon registration for those who would like to further support the cause. If you raise just $250, your entry fee will be waived! (Simply bypass the fundraising screen when registering to opt out.)

Packet pick up: Race-day only. No mailouts. (Don't worry - you won't need much time to get your bib before your race start time.)

Mill Town Logoed Gear: In lieu of a standard race shirt, our sponsor, Charmed Running, has set up a shop where you can order a shirt, sweatshirt, hat, mug, etc., with the Mill Town Marathon logo. Check it out. If you prefer a car decal or magnet, shoe charms or a paracord bracelet, visit CharmedRunning.com.

Sponsorship opportunities are available. We'd love to partner with your company to support your branding/marketing initiatives.

Sneaker Drop-off: We’ve partnered with Sneakers4Good to provide a socially responsible way to upcycle your gently used running shoes. The donated running shoes will support micro-enterprises in 25 developing countries and our charity partner, Project Purple, will receive a donation for every pound of shoes collected. Look for the Sneakers4Good dropbox near packet pick up.

Course records: Brandon Riehm (2:39:19) and Leah Knowles (3:08:32) in the marathon and Paul Ellis (1:18:22) and Mariah Gallagher (1:34:53) for the half.
