The Fox River Challenge

🌊 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.

🏃‍♂️ Race Timing and Start

• Duathlon Start: Participants will begin at approximately 8:05 - right after the announcements and National Anthem.
• 5k Run/Walk Start: All participants will start 10 minutes later to give the Duathlon participants a head-start.

🚣‍♀️ Future Developments

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.
