Are you ready to witness history at the 2026 Mill Towns? Half marathoner Megan Corey is going to attempt to set the Guinness Book record for rucking the 13.1 miles carrying a 40-pound pack! She must finish under 2:15:00! Say what?!?

Megan unofficially bested the record for rucking a half marathon with a 20-pound pack (2:34:32) by 30 minutes last fall. So why not make it harder?!

We're excited to support Megan in her Guinness Book of World Record pursuit. Join us in cheering her on out on our course!
