Holy Smokes! We made it to the fourth annual Hill Country Challenge Triathlon and we cannot wait to welcome you all to Junction, Texas for yet another EPIC year!  No doubts, we will have another year of happily unexpected obstacles thrown at you by Mother Nature, the course itself or the wit of our amazing volunteer staff all designed to test the limits of your grit and ability! For those of you who have not yet experienced the joy of the Challenge, the race is staged out of the South Llano River State Park and boasts a rough and rugged 7 mile trail run followed by a 17 mile out and back bike that takes you on paved roads, into Junction via rolling hills and scenic views, turning around at our very own Lover's Leap and ending in a fast 6 mile paddle from the park down to the bridge in Junction's Schreiner Park. Plan to face it alone or grab a friend or two to join you! Categories include men's solo, women's solo, tandem (one person run, one person bike and both paddle together in a boat) or relay (one person per leg). Ages are 16 and up for solo participants and 14 and up for relay/tandem with one person on the team being over the age of 18. Helmets and lifejackets on board are required! 

Please be sure to register by November 1, 2023 to guarantee shirt, size and ALL swag items! Registration will close at noon on 11-20-24, so please be sure to register before then! Packet pick up will be Friday, November 22, 2024 from 530-730 (pm) at 702 Pecan Street, Junction, TX 76849 (please use the door on the left when facing the building and park in the parking lot across the street). Following the race we will have food, drinks and awards. Come share with us in this time of friendly competition and small town entertainment!

Challenge for sure!

What a great event! Everybody involved was as friendly as could be. It was my first time and I entered as a relay. The weather was big challenge and caused the bike part to be cut a little short which was good safety wise. Will be competing again this year and looking forward to it!
