Welcome to Explore
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.”
