13.1 miles through Babcock State Park. Some pretty incredible scenery. And just enough hills to make you question your hobbies. ๐Ÿ˜…

The Gristmill Grinder isnโ€™t your average half marathon, and thatโ€™s exactly why we keep coming back.

Our 2027 trail race is set for April 17, and registration opens Monday at 9 PM! Whoโ€™s planning to take on the Grinder this spring?
