Saturday September 9th, will mark the 29th annual Wolfman Triathlon, one of the first off-road triathlons in the lower 48, which highlights the rugged and beautiful terrain of the eastern part of Langlade County in and around the upper Wolf River. Racers begin at 8:00 AM with our Dryathlon division that involves a run from our river start through some of the finest potato fields in Langlade County to our boat take out location. These racers will continue the race with the rest of the participants.  The triathlon racers start in kayaks/canoes on a very rocky 3-mile class II whitewater section of the Wolf River north of Langlade. This downriver canoe and kayak leg ends at the DNR landing in Langlade near the junction of Highways 55 and 64. Racers then pull their boats ashore and sprint to the bike racks for a 13-mile mountain biking portion of the race. After a short ride east on highway 64, the course enters the Nicolet National Forest and into the area’s extensive network of challenging technical single-track of the Nicolet Roche Mountain bike trails.  The course eventually exits the National Forest, crosses highway 55 south of Langlade and into the Gardner Dam Scout Camp.  The last leg of the race is a 3-3/4 mile rugged trail run along the scenic Wolf River ends with a unique river crossing.  Athletes come from throughout the Midwest as well as several western states all vying for the top spot.  After racers compete, there is a traditional locally prepared pig roast, awards presentation, and live music.
