Old Mill Run 4 Miler

Embark on a refreshing summer challenge at the Old Mill Run 4 Miler and 1 Miler, set to take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in the vibrant city of Columbus, GA. Starting and finishing at the Downtown YMCA, this community-focused event offers participants a scenic journey along a course that blends urban roadways with the picturesque Riverwalk. Runners can anticipate relatively flat terrain with gentle elevation changes, making it an excellent opportunity for personal bests or a comfortable outing. Typical race day conditions in mid-June bring highs around 91°F and lows around 71°F, with a modest 14% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm, spirited morning.

The course itself provides engaging scenery, winding alongside the Chattahoochee River on the Riverwalk, offering glimpses of the city's charming architecture and historical "old mills" that have been repurposed into modern living spaces. Aid stations providing water will be available on the course and at the finish line to keep you hydrated. As a valued part of the Columbus Roadrunners (CRR) Summer Series, the Old Mill Run fosters a welcoming atmosphere for both seasoned athletes and casual participants.

Beyond the scenic miles, the Old Mill Run serves a greater purpose, with proceeds benefiting the local YMCA. All participants in the 1-mile event will receive a finisher's medal, while the 4-miler offers awards for the top overall male and female finishers, masters, and age group categories. Secure your spot by registering before June 5th to guarantee a race shirt, and plan for packet pick-up on Friday, June 12th, at Big Dog Running. Join fellow runners for a memorable race day that celebrates fitness and community spirit.
