Every race distance in the Mill Towns Race Series follows a looping course that starts and finishes in Memorial Park in Dundas. The course travels paved trails along the east and west sides of the Cannon River to and from Northfield, the other "Mill Town." The tree-lined route is flat (elevation gain = 107 ft.) 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. The 10K is just one loop of a slightly shorter course.

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

Course records:

• Marathon: Dzmitry Dauhunenka (2:36:55) and Leah Knowles (3:08:32)
• Half Marathon: Paul Ellis (1:18:22) and Janet Smith (1:25:43)
• 10K: Patrick Wehr (00:39:07) and Maria Richert (00:40:22)

Hydration/Aid Stations: There will be water stops at miles 2 and 4 and in Memorial Park (mile 6.5 for half marathon/marathon). Each will have water and Gatorade lemon lime available in cups, and LMNT Electrolyte packets for runners to mix in their own bottles. Runners can also refill their own hydration bottles to help cut down on waste. Please carry your own nutrition/gels. 

Porta-potties: There are bathrooms and a porta-potty at Memorial Park. In addition, there are two porta-potties along the east side of the route, one near the pickleball courts on the north of the marathon/half marathon loop and multiple in Sechler Park on the west side.
