The Breck Epic. If the name strikes a little bit of fear into your heart – well, that might be your survival instincts speaking. With 215 miles and 33,000 feet of climbing, most of which happens above 10,000 feet of elevation – the stats alone are a little frightening. But what if I told you that numbers alone don’t come close to capturing the challenge, and the reward, of this event?

This event – from the people, to the trails, to the immensity of both the mountains and your regrets while you drag your bike up Wheeler – is unlike anything else we do.

Follow along as we bring you six days of fantastic racing in the Colorado Rockies – from the highest highs to some pretty low lows, we’re taking you along with us.
