Old Plank Sunset Half Marathon
The event is a point to point half marathon of 13.1 Miles that starts at the Quit Qui Oc Sports Complex in Plymouth, runs mostly on the Old Plank Trail on a paved blacktop surface along Hwy 23, and finishes at the Sports Core in Kohler. The course uses local trail and roadside sections and finishes at the Sports Core facility at 100 Willow Creek Dr, Kohler.
Packet pickup is scheduled for Friday August 7 and Saturday August 8 at the Sports Core in Kohler. Because the race is point to point there is very limited parking at the start; participants must take provided bus transportation or be dropped off. There is no transportation back to the start after the race. Parking is available at the Sports Core, nearby Woodlake Market area parking lots, or the Kohler Shared Services building parking lot across the street.
Support includes six water stations at 1.7, 3.4, 5.4, 7.5, 9.6, and 11.2 miles, four of which also offer Gatorade. GU gels are provided at 5.4 and 9.6 miles. Bathrooms are available at the start, porta potties at mile 6.5 and at the finish, and a pit toilet at mile 8.6 near the Meadowlark Trailhead.
Pace groups will be present with targets including 1:30, 1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:10, 2:20, and 2:30 finish times. Age group awards are given to the top three finishers in each group 19 and under, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 and up, and overall male and overall female winners also receive awards. Organizers note the race is held in the evening, that insects may be present along the course, and that glow sticks will be handed out at the final aid station. The finish line will close after approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
