ABOUT THE COURSE (USATF Certification MN24023MAB): From the start at Memorial Park, the looping course follows paved trails along the east and west sides of the Cannon River to and from Northfield, the other "Mill Town." The scenic, tree-lined route is flat 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. 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 TIME: Runners must be through the last aid station on the course by 1:30 PM. It is about 2 miles from the finish.

CHARITY PARTNER: Project Purple [https://runsignup.com/Race/MillTownMarathonHalfMarathon/Page/about-project-purple], supporting pancreatic cancer research and patient financial aid. There is a fundraising option upon registration for those who would like to further support the cause. If you raise just $250, your entry fee will be waived! (Simply bypass the fundraising screen when registering to opt out.)

PACKET PICK UP: Race-day only. No mailouts. (Don't worry - you won't need much time to get your bib before your race start time.)

MILL TOWN LOGOED GEAR: In lieu of a standard race shirt, our sponsor, Charmed Running, has set up a shop where you can order a shirt, sweatshirt, hat, mug, etc., with the Mill Town Marathon logo. Check it out [https://charmedrunning.myspreadshop.com/all]. If you prefer a car decal or magnet, shoe charms or a paracord bracelet, visit CharmedRunning.com [https://www.charmedrunning.com/product-category/fundraisers/milltown-marathon-fundraiser/].

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE [https://runsignup.com/Race/MillTownMarathonHalfMarathon/Page/sponsorships]. We'd love to partner with your company to support your branding/marketing initiatives.
