One area of the 5k was not marked well and a group of approximately 8 made a wrong turn. Maybe spray paint the arrows on the path instead of relying on traffic cones that can be accidentally bumped causing confusion for runners.

Communication prior to the race was good. The shirts and medals were nice as usual and I love supporting Wood Lake. Please revisit the 5k route for next year. I almost tripped on the grass at the start of the route, as the path was not mowed/cleared well. Additionally, the pathway through Veterans Park is in horrible condition and it was very congested.

This was so fun! I came from out of state and it was neat to see such a well supported local event. It was easy to sign up, even up until race time. Glad to know the race entry goes to supporting nature and education locally. The course was a fun mix of parks with lakes and neighborhood streets. So many neighbors came out to cheer us on. Many had sprinklers on which was appreciated on a warm July morning. Streets were super well marked and staffed with so many volunteers throughout the whole course. Good snacks at the finish, and a unique wood medal. Would definitely run this again! Richfield should be super proud of this event.

First time running this race and I was really impressed with how well organized everything was from the check in to safety with traffic to the snacks at the finish line. I loved the route it was warm and humid but the support of the community and the path through the trees was really nice. I will definitely do this race again.

Great race, very organized, the route was marked well, water stations were great. Neighborhoods were out cheering us on and the nature trails were great. Saw many animals and came almost nose to nose with a deer. This was my 39th state to run. If your looking for a laid back well organized event, this is it! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.

This race is very well done event with everything from packet pickup, to start area, to the course and support, and finish. The Richfield community rallies around this race and it is fun to see people outside cheering us on. The volunteers are also amazing for the water stops with enough people to ensure that you are getting the hydration during the race as it is usually very warm and sunny. I always felt safe with the intersections we crossed as there were numerous people/Police/Sheriffs helping us out. It really is a great race for anyone who wants to do a half marathon or is prepping for a fall marathon.
