Mill Town Race Series

 

Make a difference. Partner with us.

The Dundas/Northfield area is a welcoming, picturesque place, making it the perfect location for the Mill Town Race Series, which will provide runners an opportunity to participate in an approachable and affordable marathon, half-marathon or 10K race. The event on Sunday, October 13 will help people strive toward their fitness goals, whether it be achieving a new personal record, qualifying for the Boston marathon or participating in their first race. We are limiting participation to a total of 150 runners to give every participant a personal, easy experience and make sure they feel supported and welcomed. 

Hosted by the nonprofit Your Pace or Mine Running Club Inc. (tax ID #99-1300954; Road Runners Club of America Group nonprofit exemption #2702), the Mill Town Race Series offers your company opportunities to build brand awareness with the Twin Cities running community, participate in an employee volunteer activity, support health-promoting activities, and support Project Purple, a 501c3 nonprofit organization funding pancreatic cancer research and patient aid. 

We have different sponsorship levels available. If you have something else in mind, please reach out to Dale Fredrickson, 612.282.0262, or Beth Ambaruch, bambaruch@yahoo.com. If you'd like to secure a sponsorship, please email milltownmarathon@gmail.com.

Corporate Team-Building Opportunities

Looking for a fun team-building opportunity? Consider: 

• Gathering volunteers to staff one of our three “Quench the Thirst Water Stops.” You’ll play a critical role in runner safety, provide needed fluids and be a huge source of encouragement. Volunteers can wear your company branded clothing and you’re free to brand the water stop with your signage, canopy, etc. Water, sports drinks and gels provided.
• Recruiting a corporate team to participate in the event! Companies that field a team of at least 10 runners can put up a company-branded canopy in a designated location in the start/finish area for pre- and post-race gatherings.
