DESCRIPTION

Our Purpose: The Urban Wildland Half Marathon & 5K 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.  Since Wood Lake Nature Center's opening in 1971, Richfield's K-6 students had visited Wood Lake multiple times a year as part of their science curriculum. Thanks to the Urban Wildland, the program was spared and has continued every year with the proceeds from this event.

The Course: The Urban Wildland Half Marathon is a beautiful circular course that is centrally located in the Twin Cities. This course runs through Richfield's urban neighborhoods and 7 city parks featuring Wood Lake with its woodsy trails around the lake. The half marathon is a certified course.
