The Milliken Earth Run cross country 5K is held annually on the beautiful campus of the Roger Milliken Research and Customer Center (RMC) in Spartanburg, SC. This course has been the selected site for NCAA, Jr. Olympics & Jr. College Championships and is the home of the Eye Opener High School and Collegiate Meet.
Milliken & Company encourages environmental stewardship with the event, while runners experience the mostly grass cross country course within the Milliken Arboretum.
This is a Greenville Track Club (GTC) Corporate Shield event. Individual recognition of award categories will be given in results for the Corporate Shield age categories. Corporate Shield age categories are Male, Female – Open, Masters (40 and over), Grand Masters (50 and over), and Senior Masters (60 and over).
There is a race cap of 600 participants. Online registration only. Event fees are non-refundable and not transferable to other events. No dogs allowed in race. Please note this is a cross-country course so it will be difficult for strollers. Strollers are allowed, but the rider(s) should not be registered as a race participant. Event shirts are available if purchased by 2/27 as an add-on for $10 each.
Volunteers receive a free race shirt!
