Ready for your 23 Miles of Racing Bliss?
February 19 is right around the corner. So strap those pumps on tight and shift that training to a higher gear if you're looking for your share of racing bliss. .
Same as last year, there will be a hard limit on the number of participants (health and safety as foremost considerations!). If you desire the kind of racing bliss that only the WC can provide, then you'd best be one of the first 100 to get su nombre in el libro, if you get my drift.
Couple other bees for your racing bonnet:
Go baby, go!

Couple other bees for your racing bonnet:
- Kayak Rentals - (and camping gear) available for rent through our ever-stalwart friends at Nature Adventures. Head this way to make that magic happen!
- Camping - Of course there will be camping! $15 per head for Friday and $10 on Saturday. More details here.
- Doggers - Nope. Still can't bring your dogger. Sorry, but that's just how it's gotta be on an already wild race day.
Go baby, go!
Life isn't always easy. And neither is pulling off the Winter Challenge!
2021 Race Report
Next, we want to shout out some huge thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers and otherwise excellent folks who helped us pull off the miracle that is the Winter Challenge!
As always, the weekend would not be possible without the blessing and support of the Old Man. Not only does Patrick J allow the use of Dome Farms, but he also clears 90% of the trails... singlehandedly! So yeah, thanks Pops! And let's not forget our brother JBW, who's always there to throw in an extra hand or brave the spillway!
Next, we like to shower as much love on Pete and Leslie Chaplin as possible, without whom the Winter Challenge would be vastly more, um... challengier...? Big props to both Leslie and Leah for the herculean task of personally serving every last person on the farm! Truly, a ton of work!
All of my own... Marie, Francie, Mary Katherine, Patrick and Rosie, for pitching in at every turn, whether food prep, aid stations or merch sales! (Love you too, Abz!).
Big love to JSwizzle and Kelly of Setup Events who not only bring the best in professional timing, but also answer every little question as well as pull us out of sticky situations at every turn!
An outsized thank you to all our sponsors, some who have been with us since the beginning and some who jumped in at the last second to make the prize table rock. Our benefactor for the long haul, Brian at Outspokin for always having our backs and coming through whenever the need arises! Katie Malone at Malone Coaching for always bringing the awesome. Cinda B for all those handsome handbags! Park Tool for all the gear! REI for helping us spread some outdoor love! Misfit Mountain for the beer and the singing! Chris Roland for pure dedication and love for some WC! And a special thanks to Novak Designs, Coca-Cola Bottling of Orangeburg, Asheville Van Life and Savannah Canoe and Kayak for swinging in with some last minute awesome!
Guess your brohams ought to shout out our own ventures, Chris Williams Land Sales and Calavera Tool Works for letting us carry some Winter Challenge vibe over to real estate and makers world, respectively! If you need your own patch of land, or some sweet leather gear, let's hope you know who to call by now!
Grateful as well to Ben and the excellent crew from Nature Adventures out of Mt. Pleasant for making sure a lot of butts have boats year after year!
Finally, a huge thanks to all our volunteers, too! No way on earth we could manage the road, the water and all those aid stations without all your help! Special thanks to Greg and Jan for being on pond duty for the 50th year in a row (or so it seems)! Good place to throw in some love for the Barnwell Sheriff's Dept for covering the fast stretch of asphalt at the top of the road!
If we missed anyone, rest assured that it's more from sheer exhaustion than a lack of appreciation! Life isn't always easy, and neither is putting on the Winter Challenge! Couldn't make it happen without you!
Here's to a better year ahead than the one in the rearview, good people! See you in 2022!
