The Urban Wildland Half Marathon & 5K began in 2003 to save Wood Lake Nature Center’s environmental education partnership with the Richfield Public Schools. 100% of the profits from the race help to fund Wood Lake Nature Center.
The half marathon course, certified by USTAF, winds through Richfield’s shaded residential roads (paved), natural areas (paved and crushed limestone), and neighborhood parks (paved). The course is relatively flat and many runners report a personal record here. The race is chip-timed by MTEC Results.
