Miles for Mills 5K/10K

Lace up for an inspiring journey at the 15th annual Miles for Mills 10K, taking place on Monday, May 25, 2026, in Brunswick, Maine. This Memorial Day weekend event, presented by the New Balance Foundation, offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself while honoring the sacrifices of our nation's heroes. Starting and finishing at the Brunswick Recreation Center on the accessible grounds of Brunswick Landing, the course is notably flat and wheelchair-friendly, ensuring a welcoming experience for all abilities. You'll navigate a scenic route through the former naval air station, passing landmarks like Coastal Landing and Flight Deck Brewing, with volunteers and aid stations providing support and refreshments, including Poland Spring water, at key points like Hangar Six.

More than just a race, Miles for Mills is a powerful demonstration of community spirit and gratitude. It proudly supports the Travis Mills Foundation, founded by U.S. Army SSG (Ret.) Travis Mills, a quadruple amputee who dedicates his life to assisting post-9/11 recalibrated veterans and their families. Runners consistently praise the event for its intense energy and emotional atmosphere, often running in remembrance of loved ones or to simply pay tribute to service members. Expect typical race day conditions with highs around 66F and lows around 45F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the finish line, the celebration continues with an uplifting post-race atmosphere featuring food, drinks, music, children's activities, and awards. An after-party at Flight Deck Brewing offers a chance to mingle and celebrate your accomplishment. With ample parking and restrooms available at the Brunswick Recreation Center, the Miles for Mills 10K promises a well-organized and deeply meaningful experience that goes beyond personal achievement, supporting a truly noble cause.
