Thanks Sandy

Thanks Sandy

Thanks Sandy is a nine mile trail run at Kohler-Andrae State Park in Sheboygan, WI. The course is mostly flat with a total ascent of 509 feet and total descent of 485 feet. The route uses concrete paths, wide park trails, shoreline sand, a boardwalk and inland marsh, pine and prairie trails.

Runners start and finish near the indoor shelter area and follow marked lines of ground utility flags, orange cones and tall 5 foot flags. Sand begins at about mile 1.05 and the course returns to the beach and boardwalk later in the route. The cordwalk section is about 1.45 miles long and has uneven boards, gaps and warped sections; caution is advised. A restroom is located near the dog exercise area at roughly mile 2.8. A single aid station with water and an electrolyte drink is provided in the Black River trail area around mile 5.5. Participants have three hours to complete the course.

The event is cupless so disposable cups are not used; water, soda and electrolytes will be available but participants should bring their own vessel. No cowbells or incessant noisemakers are allowed and no alcohol is provided by the event. Packet pickup is at the indoor shelter and Lot P7 is the closest parking. Top three overall men and women receive podium awards and all finishers receive a commemorative token. Registration offers an optional donation option to support Friends of Kohler-Andrae State Park; processing fees apply. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
