You could race the world in 2025. Find out how here...

From the Absa Cape Epic, in March, to FNB Wines2Whales, in November, the 2025 Epic Series will thrill with spectacular singletracks, challenge with arduous ascents, celebrate the camaraderie of the race villages, and welcome teams home like the champions they are on the final finish lines. It will take mountain bikers from South Africa’s Western Cape and iconic vistas of Table Mountain into the high passes of the Pyrenees. The opportunities for exploration abound, from the ancient limestone trails of Croatia’s Kvarner islands to the alpine lakes of Switzerland’s largest canton, Graubünden. All these experiences, and more, await for those who choose to Race the World in 2025…

By Epic Series 01/06/2025, 12:30am HST

Discover the joy of racing the world through the words of Epic Legend Biance Bekker...

In 2024 Biance Bekker was one of just four people to complete every Epic Series race. The South African was joined on stage by her stage race partner, Daniel Tenner, and the Buff Megamo Epic Legends Hans Becking and Wout Alleman at FNB Wines2Whales to be honoured for that remarkable achievement. Having ridden the Absa Cape Epic, 4Islands Epic Croatia, Andorra Epic Pyrenees, SPAR Swiss Epic, and all three FNB Wines2Whales races Bekker is in a unique position to speak to the challenges and highlights of each event.
