Elm Creek Half Marathon and 10K
The Elm Creek Half Marathon and 10K takes place in a 4,900 acre park located approximately 20 minutes north of the Twin Cities. Participants run through a wilderness environment that includes crossings over creeks, paths along several lakes, sections of prairie, and routes in and out of wooded areas. Wildlife such as eagles, deer, and loons are frequently seen within the park grounds.
The event offers the following distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K (Virtual option only)
The "live" race options for the Half Marathon and 10K are held on a paved course. The race starts and finishes at Maple Grove High School. All participants receive a finisher medal and a performance tech shirt, which is available in both unisex and women's sizes.
The event includes age group rankings and awards. Participants have the option to pick up their race materials, including bibs and shirts, at a local sporting goods store in Maple Grove leading up to the event or select doorstep delivery. The race supports the Three Rivers Park District Foundation, which focuses on youth activity in parks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
