Urban Wildland Half Marathon & 5K
The Urban Wildland Half Marathon and 5K is a community road race in Veterans Park, Richfield (636 E 66th St). The event began in 2003 to benefit Wood Lake Nature Center’s environmental education program in partnership with Richfield Public Schools, a partnership that began in 1971.
Both courses are circular and wind through shaded residential neighborhoods, natural areas including Wood Lake Nature Center, and neighborhood parks. The half marathon is a USATF certified course. Chip timing for results is provided by MTEC Results, and race day award categories are listed on the event results page.
