Event overview
The Wolfman Triathlon and Trail Runs takes place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the Gardner Dam Adventure Base in White Lake, WI. The event includes individual and team triathlon divisions plus separate trail runs. Registration opens November 28, 2025.
Course details
The off-road triathlon comprises three segments:
- 3-mile Class II whitewater paddle on the Wolf River
- 13-mile technical mountain bike through the Nicolet Roche trail system
- 3.75-mile rugged trail run along riverbank and forest
The paddle launches on a rocky section of the Wolf River north of Langlade and finishes at the DNR landing in Langlade. The bike route heads east on Highway 64 into the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and finishes near Gardner Dam Adventure Base. The run begins with a bridge crossing, follows riverbank and forest trails with steep climbs and dense ferns, and includes a final river crossing before the finish and post-race gathering.
Trail runs and divisions
Trail runs use the same triathlon run route. The Wolfman Heavy 5K is described as 3.75 miles over rugged terrain on the triathlon trail. The Wolfman Heavy 10K is a two-lap course of the same route, approximately 7.5 miles, and includes two river crossings. Triathlon divisions include Solo, Tandem, and Relay. Tandem teams paddle together but bike and run individually with combined times; relay teams use one person per leg. Team matching help is offered.
