Ironman Wisconsin is one of the most amazing experiences you will ever have. This race will be one to remember for all.
This is a long-distance, nighttime, gravel ride. Don't miss this unique experience!
There will be three ride options: 25 mile (Belleville), 40 mile (Monticello), and 80 mile (Illinois state line) out and back, asphalt for 5.3 miles in Fitchburg, then all gravel/dirt trail, except for a short detour on Tunnel Road around the closed Stewart Tunnel, beginning at nightfall.
End times vary according to distance. Participants generally return to their motor vehicles at the start point or ride home.
This ride is on the Badger State Trail. Riders are responsible for their own state trail passes.
We meet at 6:30pm for required check-in and safety briefing. Then grab some snacks provided by Fitchburg Family Pharmacy before you hit the trail!
The ride starts at 7pm. We will ride as a group south to the crossing of County Highway M, after which riders may ride in small groups or alone at their own pace and distance.
Your on-line registration fee of $15 is a donation to Bike Fitchburg, Inc., a 501(c)(3) charity devoted to improving biking in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, and is deductible to the full extent of federal and state tax law. You will also sign a release and pay a registration service fee when you register. Additional donations and donations from non-riders support our work and are greatly appreciated!
Helmet and long-lasting headlight(s) are required. Spare lights, batteries, and/or power packs are recommended for the longer distances.
This ride is mostly unsupported, however there will be water and snack stops along the route at the Belleville, Monticello, and Jane Addams Trail trailheads and a 24-hour convenience store in Monroe.
Thank you for supporting bicycle advocacy in Fitchburg!
Whitewater has always been known for its charm and ideal location, nestled within the forest, lakes, prairies, and hills of the Kettle Moraine State Forest in southeastern Wisconsin. The Discover Whitewater Series race was initiated by the Greater Whitewater Committee, Inc. in September 2013. Thanks to the continued support and growing interest, the annual Discover Whitewater Series has proven to be a great success year after year. In thirteen years, the Discover Whitewater Series has been able to distribute $314,881 to local charities in efforts to build a stronger community. This would not have been possible without all the participants and volunteers of the race!
2026 will again feature the retro racecourse with the Half-Marathon following the route used for the Whitewater ROTC Half Marathon back in the 80’s. This course will run on a route north of Whitewater on gently rolling roads and will show off a wonderful view of the countryside. The 5k route will run south of campus and will include a scenic section on the bike path- including a bridge crossing of Whitewater Creek. Both races will have an exciting finish into Perkins Football stadium on the field!
The number one priority of the Discover Whitewater Series has always been to provide an exceptional and safe athletic event for all participants. Updates will be posted as needed to this site as well as runwhitewater.com.
