Team Dirty Dew wins Camp Barstool 2026's $12,000 relay finale

Camp Barstool's closing week is always built around one event: the relay race that decides who goes home a champion. This year it was Team Dirty Dew that got it done, closing out the obstacle-and-water gauntlet with a clock time that flashed on the scoreboard as the team celebrated on the shore.

What a run for Team Dirty Dew at #CampBarstool @MountainDew #MountainDew_Partner

The relay itself is Camp Barstool's marquee event, run as a $12,000 finale presented by Mountain Dew, and it's the kind of thing campers spend the whole week building toward. This year's version leaned heavily on the inflatable blob setup on the lake, with teams racing the clock and each other to string together jumps, climbs and swims.

While the win goes to a team, the individual buzz out of camp this year has centered on one camper: Timm Woods. Multiple posts out of camp flagged her as the standout personality of the week, with the kind of unofficial MVP talk that tends to follow whoever wins over a cabin full of Barstool regulars.

Timm Woods was absolutely, 100% a camp favorite for this year’s #CampBarstool @MountainDew #mountaindew_partner

Not every camper left thrilled. Team captain @hqspider took the loss on the chin, posting a one-line concession promising Team Mountain Dew would be better next year -- the kind of graceful-in-defeat line that's basically tradition after a Camp Barstool finale doesn't go your way.

On the other side, Team Dirty Dew wasn't shy about the celebration. A champs photo went up almost immediately after the race wrapped, capping a week that also included trivia segments, podcast tapings and the usual chaos that makes Camp Barstool appointment viewing every summer.

CHAMPS! @MountainDew

By the time the buses rolled out, the losing captain was already reviewing game tape on the drive home, treating a summer relay race with the seriousness of a playoff loss. That's the pull of Camp Barstool -- for one week a Mountain Dew-branded obstacle course on a lake becomes the most important thing in the world, and Team Dirty Dew gets to carry the title until next year's rematch.
