Just Beachy - 9 Mile Trail Run
This is the second annual event, taking place in Sheboygan's Kohler-Andrae State Park. It's a 9-mile trail run with a start time of 6:45 PM. The course offers a mix of terrain including sand, woodland trails, marsh, pine, and prairie trails, with a total elevation ascent of 509ft and 485ft of descent. Participants have 3 hours to complete the course, which is a 20-minute mile pace.
The course starts from the indoor shelter area, heads towards the playground, and then onto the Woodland Dunes trail, eventually reaching the shoreline. It includes sections on Beach Park Lane, S. 12th St./Co. Rd. V, and the Black River trail system. A cordwalk section is also part of the route, followed by a return to the beach and back to the start/finish line.
