2026 DKWTS CHALLENGES

DKWTS 6.0 will be made up of 3 “Tours” (main challenges) each consisting of 3 "Stages” (smaller weekly challenges) to equal a total of 9 weeks. Tours will be scored by overall metrics (time, distance, and elevation).

Stages and Bonus challenges will be scored using other data. Participants will be awarded “Purrito Points” for the challenges and activities they complete.

There are a variety of ways to score Purrito Points during the series. Some are participation-based (P) and others are competition-based (C) and will be ranked. But remember: ALL rides count! The more Purrito Points you get, the more chances you have to WIN prizes!
