Tackle it Solo or as a Team… Two Great Options!
We're Bringing It Back Home!
The Lenape Challenge is the area's premiere adventure race experience that combines 5 miles of trail runnin' and root jumpin' with 2.5 miles of creek rippin', paddle splittin' fun!
The 2025 race is back on the Perkiomen Creek!
The 2025 course starts at the Conservancy's Headquarters and takes you on a romp over hill and dale around Pennypacker Mills and on to the Perkiomen Trail. You'll race through Schwenksville then up and over Spring Mount. After a leg-bucklin' decent you'll dive into a boat for a shoulder-bustin', hull-spilittin' paddle down the Perkiomen Creek. The race finishes with a dash over the line at Red Fox Park!!
**All finishers receive a finisher medal, free brew, snacks and a race tee (if registered before April 11th).

For the Team Challenge, only ONE person from your team has to register as you will be registering for and paying for your TEAM, not individual tickets.
