Take a bike tour of Fitchburg's local breweries, including the Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company, Delta Beer Lab, and Hop Haus Brewing Company. This ride will give riders an opportunity to explore local bike trails along the way and discover what makes Fitchburg a top biking destination! Each stop will have snacks and beer samples to try (for those 21+), and swag giveaways. Every brewery has non-alcoholic beverages available, too!

All proceeds from the 2026 Brewery Ride will go to Fitchburg's Cycling Without Age Chapter, a local non-profit on a mission to offer people who cannot ride a bike themselves an opportunity to feel the wind in their hair as they ride as a passenger on a trishaw with a certified, trained pilot.

The race is located at the beautiful Lake Leota Park, located in Evansville, WI. The courses wind around the majestic lake, as well as through our historic streets. Join us and make your own 4th of July tradition!

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!
