The Lander Half Marathon, 5K, and Kids’ 1-Mile are a part of a larger community fundraising event, called the Challenge for Charities, that has raised millions of dollars since its inception in 2011 for local organizations that do invaluable charitable work in our community.
The Lander Half Marathon is a must-do road running event that ascends a continuous but gradual climb up before turning downhill towards the finish in downtown Lander. Runners experience breathtaking views of green fields, winding creeks, dramatic red bluffs and inspiring glimpses of the Wind River Mountains. The 5km course leads runners through town to McMannis Park and then joins up with the Half Marathon course to finish. The 1 Mile runs out and back on Main Street with some of the best cheering you can imagine.
The half marathon starts promptly at 6:00 a.m. The 5K race begins at 7:00 a.m. The Kids’ 1-Mile begins at 9:05 a.m. All courses close at 9:30am.
The 4th of July Parade begins at 10 AM. Stick around for the amazing fireworks display in the evening – it will be an unforgettable experience. If you are coming from out of town, we encourage you to book your lodging early. The 4th of July is a big event in Lander and draws in a very large crowd.
