Events Calendar
Miles for Mills, held every year on Memorial Day Weekend, is expanding in 2024: In additional to the 5K Run/Walk, a 10K run will be offered! The 13th annual event will be held Sunday, May 26, 2024 at Brunswick Landing in Brunswick, Maine.
The race was established and is named after Mills, who in 2012 set his backpack down on an IED, becoming one of five quadruple amputees from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries. Since then, Mills has made it his mission to give back to other recalibrated veterans like himself, and their families. The doors to the Travis Mills Foundation Veterans Retreat opened in 2017 in Rome, in the Belgrade Lakes Region of Maine, serving thousands of veterans and their families since then.
Proceeds from Miles for Mills, which last year raised approximately $135K, supports the seven robust programs offered at the Foundation for veterans, their families and combat veterans and first responders with post-traumatic stress. The event will also include food, drinks, music, children's activities, and awards!
