About the Run Wild for Wildwood
The course runs around a lake in Wildwood Park, following two named trails in a counterclockwise loop. The shorter distance does one loop; the longer does the same loop again. Underfoot is trail surface, with the lake beside you for most of the route. Start and finish are near the Nature Center, close to outdoor restrooms.
Several parking lots are spread across the park, so you have options depending on how early you arrive. Packet pickup runs at the Nature Center the two days before the race, with race-morning pickup also available. Awards go to the top finishers in each distance.

The Run Wild for Wildwood has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
