CELEBRATING 10 YEARS!
2012 marks the 10th annual Urban Wildland Half Marathon & 5K! For ten years, the Urban Wildland proceeds have funded the 42-year environmental education partnership between Wood Lake Nature Center and Richfield Public Schools, which was in jeopardy after funding cuts were made in 2003. Your support makes a real difference! Thank you!
