Come and join The Farmer Next Door and co-host Homegrown Fitness, LLC at Alsteen Farms, LLC for a farmer inspired obstacle course. The course is estimated to be about 2 miles and will be designed to take you through a variety of farm based chores such as feeding calves, picking rocks, throwing tires, carrying gates, and climbing through a tractor making it fun and scalable for all fitness levels. Afterwards you'll be able to treat yourself to a delicious yogurt bar and an optional farm tour to learn more about the dairy industry.

Note: while on the course please keep in mind that the farm is still up and running

On Saturday, July 11th, come explore the beautiful Oconto Falls area with a fun, multi-sport challenge.

Registration, transitions, and party afterwards will be held at the West Side Beach of Oconto Falls (N. Flatley Rd)

Your race journey begins on the Oconto River paddling upstream about half a mile around a buoy before returning to the starting site. Then, hop on your bike to cruise through scenic, rolling country roads with some exciting hills. Finally, lace up for a 5K walk or run along a mix of trail and road, finishing back at the site.

TRANSITIONS ARE ALL AT THE WEST SIDE BEACH

Have your own equipment? Please bring it and use it! If not, no worries— LIMITED equipment will be available to rent/reserve. I’m working with local partners to secure bike and kayak rentals to make sure everyone can join in.

If you need specific gear or have questions about rentals, just reach out—I’m here to help!

We’re excited to offer three waves to match your style and pace:

Competitive Wave (830am launch): For those ready to race full throttle and push their limits from start to finish.
