BRUNSWICK, MAINE – The 14th annual Miles for Mills Memorial Day Weekend Race, hosted by the Travis Mills Foundation and presented by New Balance Foundation, will take place on Sunday, May 25, 2025, from 8–11 a.m. at Brunswick Landing. Register for the 10K Run, and 5K Walk/Run >>> www.milesformills.org. The race will start and finish at Brunswick Recreation Center, located at 220 Neptune Drive, Brunswick. The cost is $35 per person for the 5K Walk/Run and $45 for the 10K Run. Participants who register by April 1 will receive a free event T-shirt (while supplies last). “This event is for everyone—families, athletes, and those of all abilities,” said U.S. Army SSG (Ret.) Travis Mills. “I invite you to join us this Memorial Day Weekend to honor and remember the brave servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Miles for Mills is a meaningful, uplifting way to pay tribute to their legacy while coming together as a community.” The event honors its namesake, Travis Mills, who in 2012 set his backpack on an IED, becoming one of only five quadruple amputees to survive injuries sustained in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Since that life-changing moment, Mills has dedicated his life to supporting other post-9/11 recalibrated veterans and their families. The Travis Mills Foundation Veterans Retreat, which opened in 2017 in the Belgrade Lakes Region of Maine, has provided thousands of veterans and their families with barrier-free experiences and robust support programs. In 2024, Miles for Mills raised $170,000 for the Travis Mills Foundation and saw its largest registration in the event’s history. For 2025, the Foundation aims to raise $200,000 to support its seven Signature Programs designed to empower post-9/11 recalibrated veterans and their families. The event will feature food, drinks, music, children’s activities, and awards. “As this event continues to grow, we’re thrilled to welcome even more participants and supporters,” said Heather Hemphill, Executive Director of the Travis Mills Foundation. “The addition of the 10K Run is an exciting step forward, and we’re confident it will bring even more energy and enthusiasm to a race that has become one of Maine’s most cherished Memorial Day traditions.”
