2 Day Explore

2025 Registrations Open. Limited Spots Available!

Welcome to Explore

“We are excited to announce the Explore concept to the global mountain biking market and know that it will resonate with a large number of riders who have aspired to take part in an Epic Series event but who were concerned doing so would remain out of reach,”

“Each Explore event will feature iconic destinations and premium service, but less demanding than the typical four-to-five-day Epic Series race. This shorter format ensures that riders of varying abilities and fitness levels can enjoy some of the same remarkable trails, breathtaking scenery, and immersive community spirit that the Epic Series is known for, without the extensive commitment required for the main event.  These Explore events will welcome both seasoned racers and newcomers alike, providing an unforgettable two days of riding, camaraderie, and pure enjoyment; both on and off the bike.”  

 
Jonathan Meintjes – Head of Mountain Biking EMEA at Epic Series

Time to step in Epic Series

 
2 Days | Approximately 60km | 1.250m Climbing | 1.250m Descent
 
Explore comes to give more riders the opportunity to experience the challenges and the celebrations of the Epic Series. Boasting an individual rider, two-day format, Explore will place mountain bikers within the race village to immerse them in a Epic event. Though the race will include less stages and by that will be less harder the memories made will last a lifetime, and perhaps inspire the participation in a full Epic Series event in the future, the time will tell.
