Minnesota's Green Race!

The Urban Wildland Half Marathon & 5K is a no-waste race!  All refuse from the event is either composted, recycled, or reused.

Not only is the no-waste effort kinder to our environment, it helps to meet one of the key goals of the Urban Wildland Half Marathon & 5K: to raise awareness about the environment and to practice the earth-friendly values that are taught through Wood Lake's environmental education program.


Race Director Amy Markle talks about the UWHM5K
and how it became Minnesota's Green Race.
