THE BRECK EPIC MTB STAGE RACE

About this race

THE 2026 BRECK EPIC August 9-14, 2026 Back to the beginning. When mountain biking was a about big rides with friends. About lending a hand when a rider went down. About how a shared experience on a challenging backcountry course disproportionately enriched all involved. INCREDIBLE COURSES Big Loops: The Breck Epic is composed of 6 BIG backcountry loops (3 loops for the 3-day Epic-curious events), each between 35 and 50 miles long. Cloverleaf Format: The event is unique in that it employs a cloverleaf format: each loop starting and finishing within a mile from downtown Breckenridge. Trail Network: The race utilizes the magnificently sprawling and interconnected network of trails that span the width and breadth of Summit and Park Counties. Dream Rides: When mapping out the courses we asked ourselves: “What big rides would we want to tackle if we had most of the day to slaughter and 6 of our best friends along for the ride?” THE LONG HAUL 18th Edition: The 2026 version of the Epic marks our 18th edition. That's a lonnnnng time! Spicing Things Up: We think you'll like what we have on deck. The race is rad. The courses are beyond fun. The Vibe: Mid-90’s mayhem. And Breck? It's amazing. Great people, amazing food and unbelievable weather. Diverse Participation: In an average year, Epic will host riders from 25 different countries and 40 states. Why? We think because events like ours are just rare. BIGGER ISN'T BETTER - 400 RIDER LIMIT Quality Experience: We'll also be limiting the field in 2026. This is a statement about how we feel about the quality of the race experience. Bette…
