2026 Miller Mountain Trail Challenge!
Milnes Companies was proud to again be one of the sponsors for the Annual Miller Mountain Trail Challenge held on Saturday, May 9th, 2026. This year's event will again be sharing some of its proceeds with two local organizations: The Countryside Conservancy and the Wyoming County United Way. The day’s weather was chilly and rainy, but participants were mostly all smiles for the planned 25K and 5-mile Run/Hike. The Jurista Farm, at the base of the mountain, served as the starting and ending point with several volunteer organizations setting up Aid Stations across the course. Additional vendors were also on hand serving food and offering race related merchandise. Many thanks to all the local businesses that supported this event and to Carefree Moments and Jade Photography for documenting the memories of this amazing day.
Our own Joe Reese, from our Engineering Department, placed 7th overall, bettering his time from last year by more than thirteen minutes. Joe also completed a 50K trail race in Hyner, PA on April 18th! With plans to complete additional trail races this year…You Go Joe!

Did You Know….?
Mick Goodwin, the leader of our Engineering Department, recently took over leading another group with a long and storied tradition in our local community. This year, Mick took over the Tunkhannock Area School District’s Boys Volleyball Program. The program was in desperate need of a rebuild and Mick decided to get back on the court where he once starred. Mick also coached the Girls Volleyball team at Tunkhannock for 20 years and coached within the baseball program for nearly 15 years. We wish Mick well, as he digs in, and sets up the Boys Volleyball for a successful season!
