Orange Seal Breck Epic 2021

The Breck Epic. Back to the beginning. When mountain biking was a about big rides with friends. About lending a hand when a rider went down. About a shared experience that despite the challenges found on its true backcountry course, disproportionately enriched all involved.

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. The event is unique in that it employs a cloverleaf format; each loop starting and finishing within a mile from downtown Breckenridge. The race utilizes the magnificently sprawling network of trails that span the width and breadth of Summit and Park Counties.

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 answer lies before you. The six stages that compose the Epic are a well-rounded rider’s dream. Long middle-ring climbs, endless big-ring mashing descents.

The 2021 version of the Epic marks our 12th event after a COVID-forced hiatus in 2020. 12 years is a lonnng time. "Time," some would.say, "To spice 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.

We'll also be limiting the field in 2021. It's not really a reaction to COVID. Instead, it's a statement about how we feel about the quality of the race experience. We simply believe that it's more fun when there are fewer people out there. With all of 2020's riders deferred to 2021, we will experience limited spots.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, come join us. We’ve got great people in a great town with courses that you’re gonna need to ride to believe. What else do you really need?
