Word from race director, Andrew Welman:

The 2010 Millstone Grind is on! We have two big changes; the date has been moved to August 15th, 2010 and the Grind is now part of the Root 66 series.

We are concidering having a 3 lap (25.5 mile) race and will be offering the 4 lap as our traditional open marathon.

The new graphic is a what an actual "Millstone"looks like. Two of these granite wheels were sandwiched together and used to grind grain into flour. The location of the "The Grind" is on Millstone Hill, wich was named for its granite quarrys that provided the quality of granite for making Millstones.
