About the race
The Cow Chip Classic is a community run and walk in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, held in conjunction with the Wisconsin State Cow Chip Throw. The event includes two distances that begin in Prairie du Sac and cross the Wisconsin River. The 10K route climbs "Heartbreak Hill," passes the Lake Wisconsin Golf Course, and returns to town.
The 5K turns onto Golf Road for an out-and-back into Prairie du Sac. Timing is recorded with transponder chip timing; chips are attached to race bibs and participants should allow extra time when picking up packets. Packet pickup and T-shirt distribution occur at Marion Park, corner of Grand Avenue and Fourth Street, near the outdoor pool. Packet pickup is available the evening before and on the morning of the race. Proceeds are donated to the community through the Sauk Prairie Community Club.
No animals are allowed on the course or in the park. Age divisions are organized in five-year brackets from 0-14 up through 70 and over, for both male and female competitors. Awards include plaques for winners and medals for second and third place in each division. Services after the event include refreshments and snacks, and facilities at the site include restrooms and showers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
