All proceeds from the 5K and Dog Walk will benefit Home at Last Dog Rescue, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. HAL is a 100% volunteer organization whose goal is to save the lives of homeless dogs suffering in high-kill shelters and puppy mills. We are not a shelter, and we have no central location for the dogs we rescue...every dog is in a foster home until they are adopted. With our tireless and passionate work, we hope to provide an alternative to the purchase of puppy mill and pet store dogs, thereby reducing the demand for, and ultimately, the supply of such dogs. After the dogs have been observed in foster homes, our devoted volunteers strive to match each dog with the perfect forever home. 100% of adoption fees then go back into the rescue to cover shelter pull fees, vet care, supplies, and various other expenses. We hope you'll join us for a day of spirited fun and generosity for our furry friends!

6 Hours at the Mill is a 6 hour individual, duo or team relay race. If you are looking for a fun, laid-back, low-cost, competitive experience where the proceeds go to a few awesome non-profit organizations, then sign up before we reach the 150 racer cap. The approximately five mile long course is challenging but approachable for all ages and skill levels.

Food Truck
[88fa53db-97b5-4bdb-a9dd-eb56982af90d.png]
Kooper's Chowhound Burger Wagon will be on hand to serve up an assortment of hand held burgers including vegetarian options. You can find them at http://www.brgrwagon.com/
The Course
The course is a roughly 5 mile loop with 588 feet of climbing per lap. The course starts relatively flat in the rolling fields of Jerusalem Mill and then narrows a bit as the course gains elevation as it enters into the wooded mixture of singletrack and doubletrack. The course consists of rugged classic East Coast single track. Roots, rocks, significant elevation gains, stream crossings, etc. make for a technical challenge on the first leg of the course. Second half of the course is mostly downhill and / or flat giving a reprieve before returning to the pits and starting the roughly 5 mile loop over. Pits and start / finish area will be in grassy open fields.
Preliminary race lap information can be found at https://www.trailforks.com/routepopular/81337289/ This is close to the final course, but there will be a few slight changes. The file will be updated to reflect any changes to the course.
Race Duration
The race begins at 9:00am EST with a mass wave start. All solo, duo, and team races are the same duration. Racers, or teams of racers, will complete as many laps as possible by the end time, 3:00pm EST. Racers in the same field with the same number of laps will be scored based on lowest total elapsed race time.
Team Pits
Solo, Duo, and Teams may set up a pit along the course in the field. Team tents (EZ-Up style canopy tents) are permitted, but please take care to anchor tents sufficiently if there are strong winds forecast on race day. Pit selection will occur on a first come, first served basis. While a food truck will be on hand, please be sure to bring enough water and food for the duration of the event.
Relay Transitions
Duo and Team categories are relay races. Scoring and timing will not identify individual racer by name so if you want to know your individual lap times you must keep track of which racer completed each lap. Racers may “tag” their teammate in the pit area but the incoming racer must start at the same location as the exiting racer and pass the “baton.” Duo and team racers may race in whatever order they like (example: Racer 1 could do 2 consecutive laps, followed by Racer 2 who does 1 lap, followed by Racer 3 who does 3 consecutive laps).
Podiums
Prizes for the winner of each class, custom 6 Hours at the Mill medals for the top 3 finishers. Men and women open solo cash payout for Top 3.
Payout for open men and women is $150/$100/$50 for 5 or less registered racers and $200/$150/$100 if there are 6 or more registered racers in the category.
Podium presentations will begin at 4:00pm
The Non-Profits
These events are a partnership between JAMSQUAD Cycling and the Gunpowder United Mountain Bike Operators (GUMBO). Proceeds from the events will support three nonprofit groups: JAMSQUAD Cycling which provides refurbished bicycles for underserved youth and those in recovery and GUMBO whose mission is to develop and maintain a world class trail system at Gunpowder Falls State Park. A donation will also be made to the Friends of Jerusalem Mill.
Parking
Parking will take place in the fields near the start/finish area. Racers may drop off items for their pit and then move their vehicle to the designated parking area. Please follow the directions of parking volunteers and use caution when crossing the road.
Partners
6 Hours at the Mill would not be possible without our amazing partners: Gunpowder Falls State Park, Friends of Jerusalem Mill, Independent Brewing Company, Bike Doctor of Bel Air, Kiddie Academy and Trek Bicycles.
Weather Policy
Gunpowder Falls State Park and the Friends of Jerusalem Mill generously allows us to race on these wonderful trails. With their permission, the race will proceed if there is light rain. If there is heavy rain preceding the start or forecast for race day, the race will be postponed until Saturday, November 14, 2026. This race is a fundraiser (see above). In the event of inclement weather on both dates, the race will be cancelled. Please consider your registration fee a donation to the non-profit organizations.
Common Courtesy
Please be respectful of the environment and its inhabitants. We would like to remind everyone that we all have a responsibility to leave the race course cleaner than we find it on race day. All refuse should be discarded into appropriate containers. Any rider found illegally discarding objects in the park, the roads leading to and from the race course, and the on the race course itself will be dealt with accordingly. Trash containers will be available for rider’s to use around the property.
Sportsmanlike Conduct
The Race Promoters expect ALL spectators and riders to act like responsible adults. Use of profanity and blatant unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. This is a public park and family friendly event, so please be courteous to all volunteers and each other!

SafeSport
The PanAm Championships and DCCX organizing committee support the goals of SafeSport in protecting athletes and ensuring a positive environment for athletes, supporters and fans.
Implementation of SafeSport protocols is the responsibility of the officiating crew. No person listed on the SafeSport Centralized Disciplinary Database is permitted in the pit area or team zones. Please provide the names of pit staff during check in (if different from staff you listed when registering). For non-U.S. support staff, a cycling federation license is required. Please present names of support staff and license numbers (if applicable) at registration. Specific questions about SafeSport guidelines pertaining to your support staff can be directed to the UCI or USA Cycling official in charge of pit pass allocation.
Licensing Requirements: All riders competing in the Pan American Championships, Masters Pan American Championships, and/or UCI C2 races must possess a current UCI International license.
If you currently do not hold a license of any kind the UCI license for an adult is $240.
If an athlete currently holds a USA Cycling domestic license, then you are able to purchase a UCI license add-on at a cost of $130 (the price difference between a USA Cycling license and the fee for a UCI license). You are eligible to purchase this add-on up to 30 days prior to an existing USA Cycling membership expiring. Per USA Cycling: this UCI license supersedes a domestic license and thus your domestic license will show as expired once the UCI license add-on is purchased.
The UCI/International license is valid for both UCI categorized races and any local/grassroots races.
More details available here: https://usacycling.org/get-started/bike-racing-for-adults
All riders in the DCCX amateur races must possess either a valid USAC license, a one-day USAC license or a UCI license with cyclocross coding. Non-US citizens must possess a valid UCI International license for insurance purposes. Non-US citizens from Canada can possess a Cycling Canada License.*
*If registering with a license from Canada is not an international (UCI) license, then applicable riders will be required to show proof of insurance that covers them while racing in the USA or sign a waiver acknowledging responsibility for all medical costs they may incur. USA Cycling's insurance does NOT cover riders with only valid domestic licenses from their respective national federation. Foreign federation UCI licenses are to carry with them proper medical insurance, but a Foreign Permission Letter (FPL) is required for it to be in effect. If no FPL is available, the rider is responsible for obtaining travel insurance that covers them while racing in the USA, and they accept full responsibility for medical expenses they incur.
Racing age, per UCI 5.1.001:
The category to which the license holder belongs on December 31st, 2026, will be used for his or her participation in events for the whole season.
One-day licenses available for purchase for Amateur Racing Only (non-PanAmChamps)
Beginner One-Days One-Day licenses for beginner categories are $15.00 and may be purchased on USA Cycling’s website .
Experienced One-Days If your categories prohibit you from entering a race with a beginner one-day license (anything but cat 5 in cyclocross), you can purchase the experienced one-day license for $35. The experienced one-day license is only available online at (see link below):

Gearin Up is a project of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association located in the Eckington neighborhood in NE DC, right off the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT). They are open until 7pm on Fridays and noon to 6pm on Saturdays.
Upshift Workshop is an eclectic, woman-owned bicycle repair and education workshop in the Adams Morgan neighborhood in NW DC. They are open until 7pm on Fridays and noon-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
If you are staying in the host hotel in the NoMA neighborhood, you’re just around the corner from DC’s flagship REI , adjacent to the NoMA Metro station (Red Line) and abutting the Metropolitan Branch Trail.
There are tons of places to ride in DC! The District Department of Transportation has a bicycle map that is worth looking at to familiarize yourself with bike lanes and trails in the city. You can find that map here.
Other places to ride:
The Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) is a multi-use trail that runs through the center of Washington, DC, connecting Union Station to (eventually) Silver Spring, MD. Most of the 8 miles are complete and there are protected bike lanes most of the way from the race venue to the trail access point in the Brookland neighborhood. Here are directions to the trail/two way protected cycletrack - hang a left at 8th St NE/Arts Walk to go up towards MD, hang a right to head downtown and Union Station.
The Anacostia River Trail network starts in Maryland and continues into Washington, DC. Most of it is paved though there are sections of the NW Branch Trail that are dirt/singletrack (and perfect for cyclocross bikes if you like climbing). For info on the DC side, go here. For MD info, go here.
Going for a bicycle ride in Rock Creek Park has been part of DC cycling life for decades. Junior World Road Championships were hosted there in 1978! This World Championship event was the first hosted in the US since 1912! If you want to relive that event, and see if you can better Greg LeMond’s 9th place finish, the race route is here.
North of Broad Branch Rd, much of Beach Drive is closed to car traffic so it is a great place to ride and explore. Only about two miles from the race venue is the Morrow Drive entrance to Rock Creek Park (at the Fitzgerald Tennis Center). At Beach Drive, make a right to head north towards Maryland and a left to head south towards Broad Branch and the Rock Creek trail which heads towards Georgetown and the National Mall (monuments, museums etc)
Sligo Creek Parkway has multiple road sections closed off to cars during the weekend, as well as a parallel multi-use trail. A great place to ride if you are staying north of DC in Silver Spring or Wheaton. More about Sligo Creek here.
A bit further west are the paved Capital Crescent Trail and the unpaved C & O Canal Towpath. Both start in DC, in the Georgetown neighborhood, and meander into Maryland.
DC does have legal singletrack! And cyclocross bikes fare pretty well on these trails. Learn more about the Ft Dupont and Ft Circle Park trails here.
Last but not least is a favorite for those of us that live in the NE part of the city and Prince George’s County - the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and the Patuxent Research Refuge. Miles of relatively low traffic roads. Take the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail north and connect to Beaver Dam Rd and head east. Here are directions from the race venue.

Welcome to the MCRRC Stone Mill 50 Mile Run!
This 50 mile trail run showcases the beauty of both the Seneca Greenway and Muddy Branch trails in Montgomery County, Maryland. The course traverses forested, rolling terrain on a primarily single track, dirt trail. There are small stream crossings. Most of the course drains well, but parts can be muddy in wet weather.

As a participant in this event, we ask that you commit to volunteer 6 or more hours before race day with your local running club, any local race, work on the trails or any other running-related non-profit organization (such as Girls on the Run, Let Me Run, etc.). This is done on the honor system. No proof will be requested.
