Event details
The Woodbury Lakes races take place in Woodbury, Minnesota, with start and finish at Colby Lake Park, 9715 Valley Creek Rd, Woodbury, MN 55125. The event includes the following distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10k Run

Registration opens on January 18, 2026. Day-of registration is cashless and requires a cell phone and a RunSignUp account. Packet pickup (bib, timing chip, and swag bag) is held before race day at Powers Lake, 10000 Brookview Road, Woodbury, with additional pickup available on race morning in timed windows for each event.
Course and logistics
Courses run on paved trails around four local lakes and include many turns and several road crossings. Roads will remain open; some crossings will not have crossing guards. The half marathon course is not certified; organizers measured it with a wheel to about 13.11 miles. Aid on course will be limited: tentative water stations for the half marathon and 10k, and no aid stations on the 5k. Water and light snacks will be available at the finish.
Parking is available in two Colby Lake Park lots (one at the Valley Creek entrance and one behind the ice rink). Overflow parking is allowed at Valley Crossing Elementary School, 9900 Park Crossing.
Timing, awards and safety
Races are gun timed and use chips to record finish times. Runners must wear visible bibs. Every half marathon finisher receives a 3 inch wooden medallion. Overall male and female 1st through 3rd place prizes will be awarded in each event; there are no age-group awards. Organizers reserve the right to delay or cancel for inclement weather; there are no refunds. Spectator viewing locations are listed for multiple points along the course.
