Event details
The Winter Challenge Off-Road Triathlon & Duathlon is scheduled for February 21, 2026 at Dome Farms in Springfield, South Carolina. The event offers multiple race categories: a full off-road Triathlon, a Duathlon, and relay options for both triathlon and duathlon. Entry is open to ages 15 to 99. Registration fees vary by event and increase after early registration deadlines.
Course and format
The main Triathlon consists of a trail run, a kayak segment, and a mountain bike segment. The Duathlon uses the same trail and bike routes but replaces the kayak with a second run, split into segments. Relay teams may be two or three people for the Triathlon and two people for the Duathlon; teams compete by assigning individual legs to different members.
- Triathlon: 7-mile trail run, 6-mile kayak, 10-mile mountain bike.
- Duathlon segments: 2.25-mile run, 10-mile bike, 4.75-mile run.
The kayak segment is a flatwater course and is intended for single-person boats only. Paddleboards are not permitted. Canoes or tandem boats are not recommended unless paddled by one person.
Location and logistics
The race takes place on private farmland at Dome Farms, between Springfield and Williston, SC. Camping is commonly used by participants and organizers note limited local hotel availability. The race may proceed in most weather conditions; postponement or cancellation with refund is reserved for extreme conditions at the discretion of race management.
