Wild Winter Run
About this race
Bundle up and hit the trail for Delaware Wild Lands’ Wild Winter Run 5K—a festive, cross country-style race through some of Delaware’s most scenic protected lands. Whether you’re chasing a fast time or enjoying a winter walk, this event is built for runners and walkers of all levels. The course winds through natural terrain, offering a true cross-country experience across open fields, along forest edges, and on wide trails. It’s a refreshing change from road running and a great way to stay active during the winter months.
Come for the run, stay for the fun. Participants will enjoy festive swag and seasonal awards honoring top finishers and standout efforts.
Every registration supports Delaware Wild Lands’ efforts to protect and restore forests, marshes, and waterways statewide. Your miles help conserve the landscapes wildlife—like Woody Wildlander (DWL’s wood duck mascot) —depends on.
Grab your friends, throw on your favorite winter gear, and join a race that combines fresh air, community, and a great cause.
