Sandy signed herself and Biscuit up for the Wildwood Crest 5K Beach Race without fully thinking it through, lost a flip-flop somewhere around the halfway mark, and still crossed the finish line grinning. Harry the seagull watched the entire thing from a lifeguard chair and was, as always, unmoved.

The Wildwood Crest 5K Beach Race
The Live Like Bolle 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk hits Wildwood Crest beach on Saturday, Aug 8, sending runners along the sand for a proper summer race morning. Sandy treated it less like training and more like a vibe, which is exactly how she ended up barefoot for the back half.
Why a Beach 5K Hits Different
Running on sand is a whole different workout than pavement, harder on the legs, easier on the joints, and a lot more fun to watch when someone loses a flip-flop mid-stride. Wildwood Crest’s beach gives the race a genuine summer-morning energy that a road race just can’t match.
