Race the clock. Choose your path. Earn every checkpoint.
Push your limits at the East Fork Challenge—an adventure race that blends strategy, endurance, and just the right amount of grit.
Set in East Fork State Park, this race sends you across rugged trails, fast gravel, and open water as you trek, bike, and paddle your way to as many checkpoints as possible before time runs out. You’ll choose your own route, manage your pace, and decide how hard to push—it’s as much a mental game as it is physical.
Whether you’re chasing the podium or trying your first race, the East Fork Challenge is designed to be competitive and approachable. New racers are welcome, but don’t be fooled—there’s plenty here to test even experienced teams.
How It Works
Expect a supportive race atmosphere, smart route choices, and a finish line that feels earned. If you’re looking for a challenge that rewards both effort and strategy, this is it.
You can bring your own boat or rent one from our race partner.
