A few highlights of the bliss we have in store for you
Good eats
You simply will not find a better post-race meal at any race. Seriously, if you know of another race that brings in a crew a couple days early to roast enough pig to feed every last person in attendance, let us know. Calvin and his crew do it old school, and will have your mouth watering from the minute you set foot on the farm.
And yes, we always hook up some vegetarian options for the savages among you. |
A Shot at the Best Prize Table in the Southeast

Between all the pint glasses, gift cards, hats, t-shirts, Sufferfest videos, and other assorted swag, we give away more in the lead up to the race than most others muster on race day. That's because we've got crazy awesome sponsors.
Outspokin' Bikes, Calavera Tool Works, Chris Williams Land Sales, Park Tool, Malone Coaching, Palmetto Engineering & Consulting, Nature Adventures, Country Clear Bottled Water, Hutto's Transmission, Edisto Irrigation and Landscaping, Misfit Mountain, Groucho's Deli, Cinda B handbags, Forbes Gilham Group, plus a host of others!
What does that mean for you, dear Winter Challenger? It means we have a ridiculous pile of gear to give away on race day. That pile you see to the right? That doesn't come close to what we'll have by race day.

A Few Other Choice Bits of Information

The Winter Challenge will be held under inclement conditions, including rain, sleet, or shine. We're pretty serious about this one, just ask Pete Chaplin (right). Refunds will not be available unless arrangements are made prior to the race with the race director.
Under severe weather conditions, the race may be postponed, at the discretion of the race management. If that's how it goes down, and we highly doubt it will, persons unable to participate would be entitled to a refund.
And in the nicest way possible, we should also point out that refunds will not offered within six weeks of race day. If you've got a legit reason you cannot race, we will offer deferments to the following year up until three weeks prior to the race.
After that, well... the cows are out of the barn and the money's already spent.
