2026 Run Of The Mill 5/10-miler walk/run Trail Runraiser

The 2026 Run of the Mill Trail Runraiser is proudly presented in partnership with Velo Amis.  This 3rd annual do good, feel good trail charity event takes our runners and walkers through the beautiful and historic Brandywine Creek State Park, in the heart of Wilmington, Delaware.  Home to many cross country races including the Delaware cross country state championships, this event's course will challenge you and give you a run for your money!

Proceeds from this year's event will benefit these three Delaware non-profit organizations - 

• Delaware Youth Cycling League
• Friends of Brandywine Creek
• Sussex Sand Sharks Mountain Bike Team

These cycling organizations evoke the strong bodies and perserverance of our next generation through the sport of mountain biking, emphasizing the values of inclusivity, fun, equity and respect.  The park provides all of us the enviornment to help nurture our bodies and souls.   

The marked course will remain open for 4 hours, making it hiker friendly for both the 5-miler and the 10-miler distance.  5-miler participants: please carry your own hydration/nutrition.  There will be one un-manned water only aid station only for the 10-mile participants around mile 4.5 and mile 8 along the 10-mile course.  Porta-potties available at the start/finish.  

In the event of unsafe weather conditions, participants will be notified on Friday, 11/6, with the chance of moving the event to Sunday, 11/8.  

Registration is free and required, with a suggested donation of $25 (via the donation button here on the race webpage, or at https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/DE/Wilmington/RunOfTheMillMilerWalkRunTrailRunraiser ).  Your participation creates a positive ripple effect, not only in getting more kids outdoor and on bikes, but also in keeping our park accessible and beautiful.  It speaks volumes about commitment to one's community.  Crossing that finish line will feel rewarding and meaningful!  

Online registration closes on Thursday, 11/5.  Bib pick up starts at 8am on the day of the event.  Day of event registration will be available but with cash/venmo donations only.  Post race snacks and drinks are pot-luck style at the picnic table under the pavillion, we'd love it if you are able to bring something to share!    

We look forward to seeing everyone at the start line!
