Driftless Distance Night 2026

October 24, 2026 | Under the Lights at Madison International Speedway

Driftless Distance Night returns in 2026 with a brand-new stage and an atmosphere unlike anything else in distance running.

This year, we’re bringing the race to the iconic Madison International Speedway, transforming a legendary motorsports venue into a high-energy distance running showcase.

For one night only, the legendary Madison International Speedway will transform from a motorsports battleground into a high-energy distance running spectacle. As the sun sets and the stadium lights come alive, runners will take to the speedway oval where race cars normally chase speed, creating a racing experience that feels fast, electric, and unforgettable.

Whether you’re chasing a breakthrough performance or simply looking for a race experience you won’t find anywhere else, Driftless Distance Night is your chance to test yourself in one of the most unique race environments in the Midwest.

Athletes will have the opportunity to compete in three exciting events: Mile, 5k, 10k.

The Midwest's fastest race, under the lights 🏁🌙

AWARDS: in process of securing a prize purse for the elite field.

    The C26 Wisconsin Triathlon Camp is open to all triathletes — not just C26 team members — who want to gain an edge on one of the most iconic race venues in the sport. Held on the Ironman Wisconsin and 70.3 Wisconsin courses, this camp is led by C26 Triathlon Coaches Robbie Bruce and Mike Tarrolly, who have guided hundreds of athletes to successful finishes, PRs, podiums, top overall placements, and Kona qualifications on this course.

    This camp has become a cornerstone of the many C26 Camps offered every year. Offering the perfect blend of hands-on coaching, race-specific preparation, and the supportive community that defines C26. Whether you’re preparing for your first 70.3 or Ironman, chasing a personal best, or working toward a World Championship slot, this camp will help you refine your strategy and build confidence for race day.

    You’ll get valuable time on the official swim, bike, and run courses, learn how to pace and fuel effectively, and take the guesswork out of race-day execution. There’s simply no substitute for course recon with experienced coaches who know every turn, climb, and detail of the Wisconsin course making this camp an unforgettable experience of training, learning, and connection with fellow athletes.

    We'll share several meals together and will offer plenty of time to hang out with your new friends and campers.

    "As someone who finished their first Ironman at Wisconsin, course familiarity was crucial to my preparation. There’s no substitute for getting to train on the course you’re racing and I know the opportunity to train on that Wisconsin course was instrumental in me having the day I had. The experience of riding on that bike course was worth the price of admission alone. I knew where the business end of the course was, where the flatter sections were, where the free speed was, and that helped my plan of attack on race day. If you’re signed up for Ironman Wisconsin, there’s no other race or experience that will get you more prepared to race your best than Wisconsin camp!
