The Winter Challenge Off-Road Triathlon

Overview

The Winter Challenge Off-Road Triathlon & Duathlon is scheduled for February 21, 2026, at Dome Farms in Springfield, SC. The 2025 edition was postponed after timber harvesting and flooding affected the site; refunds are available to current registrants. Organizers have noted the possibility of a separate "Winter Challenge Weekend" on routes deemed passable, with camping and barbecue being considered. Entrants who remain registered for 2026 would receive free entry to that potential weekend event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
