Thanks Sandy

Thanks Sandy - Sheboygan, WI

Thanks Sandy is a nine mile trail run held at Kohler-Andrae State Park in Sheboygan. The event is presented by TYDISH Running and follows a mostly flat route with a total ascent of 509 ft and descent of 485 ft. Participants have a 3 hour time limit to complete the course.

The route moves from the indoor shelter onto wide trails and the Woodland Dunes trail, passes campground areas and reaches the shoreline by about mile 1.05 where runners encounter sand. The course includes an exit by the dog exercise area (P2) with a restroom, a short road shoulder segment to the Black River trail system, a 1.45 mile cordwalk with uneven and potentially slippery boards, and a final beach section before returning to the Woodland Dunes area. The course is marked with ground utility flags, orange cones and tall 5 ft flags. Aid is provided at one station in the Black River section near mile 5.5 with water and an electrolyte drink.

Event logistics note that Wisconsin State Park daily or annual vehicle passes are required and should be displayed on the windshield. Post-run snacks and drinks will be available including gluten free and vegan options. Podium awards are given to the top three overall women and men and all finishers receive a commemorative token. Registration closes Wed, Aug 12. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
