The Wolfman Triathlon is one of Wisconsin’s original off-road triathlons. Held in the rugged Northwoods, this multi-discipline race includes:
A 3-mile Class II whitewater paddle
A 13-mile
technical mountain bike ride
A 3.75-mile rugged trail run
Racers start in staggered 30-second intervals beginning at 8:00 AM.
Triathlon Course Overview
Paddle (3 miles) Racers launch their kayaks or canoes onto a rocky, scenic Class II section of the Wolf River just north of Langlade, WI. This exhilarating 3-mile whitewater paddle finishes at the DNR landing in Langlade.
Bike (13 miles) After pulling boats ashore, racers sprint to their bikes and head east on Highway 64 before entering the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The course continues through the Nicolet Roche trail system—an extensive network of technical singletrack with plenty of climbs, descents, and challenges. The segment finishes near the Gardner Dam Adventure Base.
Run (3.75 miles) The trail run begins with a bridge crossing over the Wolf River, winding along the riverbank and through lush forest trails. Expect steep climbs, dense ferns, and a final river crossing (yes, you'll get wet!) before reaching the finish line and legendary Wolfman After Party.
Additional Race Divisions
Tandem Teams
Tandem teams race as a unit and must paddle together in the same boat. The bike and run legs are completed individually, and their times are combined. Note: If one team member fails to finish, the team is disqualified.
Relay Teams
Compete as a 3-person relay team, with one person handling each leg of the race. Fastest total combined time wins.

Trail Run Events
🟩 Wolfman Heavy 5K – 10:00 AM
Don’t be fooled by the name—this “5K” clocks in at 3.75 miles on rugged terrain. Follow the same trail used in the Triathlon, featuring riverbank running, forest climbs, lush ferns, (optional) rope climb, and a river crossing before the big finish at the After Party. You might question your sanity mid-race… but you'll be ready to sign up again by the end!
🟨 Wolfman Heavy 10K – 10:00 AM
A new challenge replacing the former Heavy Half! This 2-lap course doubles the Triathlon run route for a total of ~7.5 miles, including two river crossings. You’ll start and finish in the same location as the 5K.

This is the land where I was born and raised and I'm incredibly excited to share it with our far flung cycling friends both old and new. Soaring trees, rolling hills, and beautiful lakes await you.

Camping space on site will be limited to 180 people but there are tons of campsites, hotels and resorts in the area. Due to space and liability concerns only registered participants will be allowed to camp on site or be on the premises. If you wish to camp with non-registered folks please choose the without camping category and make your own arrangements.
Vending: Bring Bike parts, clothes, stuff you make etc, to sell at the market.
On Site Camping: You will be responsible for providing most of your meals and water, except for Saturday Night's Dinner. The best bet is to be as self sufficient as possible. We will provide porta potty's and hand washing stations.
There will be spaces for both vehicle and tent camping, as space is limited we highly encourage carpooling if possible. There is a beautiful lake an easy walk from the property, or very short ride for swimming, washing up, and pumping water.
Due to the fact that our beloved pup Baroo is no longer with us we are welcoming other dogs this year, but please make sure they are on their best behavior and that you pickup all their droppings. The neighbor has chickens and if your dog causes issue, y'all will have to leave.
This land is incredibly important to my family and we're very excited to share its magic with you. We humbly request that you treat the land with care and respect, please do not litter, or damage the trees. If you're planning on using a hammock, please make sure the trees you sling are at least 8" in diameter.
