Captain Thurmond Challenge Triathlon
Captain Thurmond’s Challenge is an extreme triathlon consisting of 28.5 miles of the most challenging mountain biking, whitewater and trail running the New River Gorge area has to offer!

This race is part of the New River Gorge Challenge Weekend so pack up the friends and family and head on out for a weekend of racing for every level!
