Urban Wildland Half Marathon & 5K
2023-07-29 07:00 - 11:00 (America/Chicago) | MN
The biggest event in Richfield! The Urban Wildland began in 2003 to save Wood Lake Nature Center’s environmental education partnership with the Richfield Public Schools, which was in jeopardy due to cuts in local government aid. Thanks to the Urban Wildland, the program was spared and has continued every year with the proceeds from this event.
The course winds through shaded residential neighborhoods, natural areas (including Wood Lake Nature Center), and neighborhood parks. USATF-certified. Register here: https://www.richfieldmn.gov/around_town/wood_lake_nature_center/urban_wildland_half_marathon_and_5k/index.php
