2021 Stubborn Fool - Race Info

Saturday, April 3, 2021– 10:00 a.m.

Ontario, WI

Start/Finish location will be announced 1 week prior to race day
3/18/2020 Update:  


To our Adventure Racing Friends, 

I have spent the last week examining alternative race formats and precautions to minimize contact at our upcoming race. I appreciate how supportive and creative everyone has been during these discussions, and I think we could host an event that minimizes the risk to all of you and to our volunteers.  I am, however, increasingly concerned about doing the right thing with regard to everyone's health and the impression our event gives to the local community.  With a full calendar in 2020, unfortunately it is not viable to reschedule Stubborn Fool. I think it is in everyone's best interest that I cancel the Stubborn Fool Adventure Race for 2020. 

For those who have already registered and paid for your team, your entry will automatically be rolled to Stubborn Fool 2021, which will take place in Ontario, WI on 4/3/2021.

For those who prefer to apply your entry fee toward any of our three Stubborn Mule races on 6/27/2020, please let me know which race distance (5-hour, 12-hour, or 30-hour) to roll your entry to.  Both Stubborn Mule 12-hour and 30-hour are regional qualifiers for USARA Nationals.  For those who are in need of a refund please contact me to make arrangements. 

Thank you,
Paula Waite
