The Fox River Challenge

The 2025 Fox River Challenge is scheduled for May 10th starting at 8:00 AM in Wrightstown, WI.  The start/finish arch will be 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.  There will be a bathroom and water station on Los Dauphin which you will pass on the way out and the way back. 

Duathlon racers will transition back through the start/finish arch and the final mile will follow the same route along the eastern shore on Hwy ZZ. 

The distances: 
5k run/walk
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 this year. 

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.  This will not take place in 2025 due to changes coming to the shoreline.
