Wolfman Triathlon and Trail Runs
The event is an off-road triathlon and set of trail runs held near White Lake, Wisconsin, at N2940 Gardner Dam Road. The triathlon combines a whitewater paddle, a mountain bike segment, and a trail run. Racers start in staggered 30-second intervals.
Triathlon course distances:
- Paddle: 3 miles on a Class II section of the Wolf River
- Bike: 13 miles on technical singletrack through the Nicolet Roche trail system
- Run: 3.75 miles on rugged riverbank and forest trails
Course highlights include a rocky launch on the Wolf River north of Langlade, a descent onto Highway 64 into the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, and a finish near the Gardner Dam Adventure Base. The run begins with a bridge crossing over the Wolf River, follows riverbank and forest trails with steep climbs and dense ferns, and includes a final river crossing before the finish and the Wolfman After Party.
Race divisions and team rules:
- Tandem teams must paddle together in the same boat; bike and run legs are completed individually and times are combined; if one member fails to finish the team is disqualified.
- Relay teams consist of three people with one leg assigned to each person; results are based on combined time.
