We try and make it as easy as possible. Register early, save a little dough. Register later? Don’t sweat it; it’s a point of pride around here to produce what is STILL the least expensive mountain bike stage race in the whole flippin’ multiverse, even at standard pricing.

Epic delivers the experience of a lifetime. 6 days of back-of-beyond trail riding that will put your gear, your fitness and your mental strength to the test. On-site you’ll enjoy one of the best mountain bike courses ever designed. 6 of ’em, actually…in a row.

You’ll work, eat and sweat. You’ll cuss, rage and laugh. And you’ll take home an indelibly etched memory of good times, big rides with great friends, and a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Because on Day 6, you’ll be crowned an official bad-ass. And you’ll draw upon THAT particular core of iron for the rest of your days.

Is it difficult? Yeah. Will you suffer? Also yes. But while Epic is one of endurance trail riding’s true monuments, it’s also fun as balls.

Saddle up.

OVERVIEW
There are some terrible refund policies out there. Ones that don’t acknowledge that life sometimes gets in the way, or that the universe sometimes twirls its mustache and sends humans spinning in other directions. We’ve always tried to be as flexible as possible and offer a more humane take.

Epic participants who register but find themselves unable to participate have four options.

REFUNDS
Full refunds are offered through December 31 of the year prior to each race’s date. Deferred entries from previous years are ineligible for refunds. Participants may defer, transfer or sell their entry for up to two years past the date of their original race date. Riders may defer up until race day with no judgement or scorn – life happens. We get it. When it does, you don’t need yet another thing that’s giving you anxiety.

TRANSFERS
Riders may transfer or sell their entry at no cost up until 5pm on DAY ZERO (check-in day, typically the Saturday preceding Stage 1).

DEFERRALS
Participants may defer their entry for up to two years past their original race with no fee or penalty. Riders may defer until race day. Registration fees become forfeit without a deferral request or notification 12 hours prior to the start of Stage 1. Comp entries are ineligible for deferrals.

RACE CREDIT
Alternately, riders may opt to apply their entry in a one-to-one exchange with any other Epic-operated event.
