In case you don't know, The Mills Miles owes its existence to the Trails ROC Last Running Standing. The time of year and location are different, but the race format is exactly the same. Another example of all the things that @trailsroc has done for FarFetched and the Rochester trail community over the years.
The Mills Miles is designed to be a family-friendly event, with an accessible starting pace, our soon-to-be-famous post-race BBQ, and free entry for anyone under 18 years old. Sign up the whole family!

Sneak peak of online only film #1: Off Course (75 mins). An intimate and deeply personal documentary following elite ultrarunners Stephanie Case and Sophie Grant as they confront the most grueling challenge of their lives: trying to become mothers.
