The best mountain bike race in the Midwest.
— Jesse Lalonde | 2014 Champion
It was awesome. The perfect amount of flow and mud to keep me entertained for 37 miles.

One of the toughest races the Midwest has to offer.

Trek is proud to be part of the EPIC and to support local trails, and the volunteers who are responsible for so much of the world class mountain biking we have in our home state. There is no better tribute to recognize everything they’ve done than by getting together and riding the trails they’ve built.

The best MTB race I’ve ever done. 30+ miles of epic singletrack!
— Abby Strigel | 2013 Champion
We rode the fastest, most intuitively laid out and rewarding singletrack I’ve raced in 15 years.

Not only has the EPIC become established as the anchor spring mountain bike event in the Cable/Hayward area, it has created a model for similar events that help fund local trail development efforts and enhances our ability to plan our annual trail initiatives with confidence.
