Wrightstown, WI • May 9, 2026
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.
