    The 2026 Fox River Challenge is scheduled for May 9th starting at 8:00 AM in Wrightstown, WI. The start/finish is located in The Fox River District right along The Fox River and the initial leg of the race, the out-and-back 5k run, will follow the beautiful eastern shore on Hwy ZZ. This leg of the race will also be open to individual run/walk participation in the Fox River Challenge- 5k only. This is the same route as last year.

    Duathlon participants will begin at approximately 8:05- right after the announcements and National Anthem. All 5k run/walk participants will start 10 minutes later to give the Duathlon participants a head-start in order to avoid transition clustering.

    The 2nd leg of the duathlon will transition through the start/stop arch and go up and over the bridge. The 15-mile bike will follow the western shore of The Fox River on Los Dauphin Road into Little Rapids & De Pere.

    Duathlon racers will transition back through the start/finish arch and the final mile will make a loop around the Wrightstown neighborhood back through the same start/finish.

    The distances:

    5k run/walk (1st leg of duathlon OR single 5k only)

    15-mile bike

    1 mile run

    The duathlon can be completed as an individual or 2-person team.

    You will see many community sponsors along the course with mile markers helping you along the route!

    Timing will be provided by XM TIMING.

    PACKET PICK-UP will be at: The River Coffee & Cream, 104 High Ct. Wrightstown, WI 54180

    FRIDAY: 3:30-6PM

    SATURDAY: 6:30-7:30AM

    There is still future interest in developing The Fox River Challenge from a Duathlon to a Triathlon by adding a kayaking leg. The race would be a kayak, run, bike and showcase the paddling option on The Fox River in Wrightstown. Updates to be determined.
