The Jay Challenge has historically been a combination adventure race and triathlon that occurs yearly in and around Jay, Vermont. It is a three-day event comprised of a 26 mile kayak trip from the northern to southern end of Lake Memphremagog, a 30.5 mile run over rough terrain and 65 miles of mountain biking. It claims to be "the largest offroad stage race in North America", with 700-1000 racers each year. There is no cash prize and no sponsor. The course record, held by Mike Morris, is 19 hours and 20 minutes. Phil Bubel, has won the race in both 2005 and 2006.
In 2007, the Jay Challenge has been scaled back to only the running portion, and temporarily re-titled "The Ultimate XC Challenge."
