Why an Epic 8?? The Epic 8 Hour Relay is all about the camaraderie, sportsmanship and the gritty, hard-core enjoyment of riding with friends. The Epic 8 Hour relay is a personal and team challenge to complete as many laps as possible from 10 am to 6 pm. Many riders prefer the 8 hour format for a solo challenge, but the majority of riders still enjoy the mix of fun, fast riding and the competitive (or not so competitive), social team atmosphere. Whether riding just for fun, or vying for a podium spot in your category, the Epic 8 Hour will be a memorable experience!
A couple of happy rider testimonials:
“I jumped into the 8 hour race on a whim not having done one before. It was a great experience. At around 4:00PM I felt my worst and felt better onward which was a great surprise. I have so many good memories of interacting with fellow riders and race volunteers and of just riding km after km. The watermelon and sponge breaks were welcome relief from the heat. It was just what I needed to immerse myself in to satisfy this wonderful and mysterious urge that is mountain biking. What a blast! Thanks for putting it on and for your encouragement along the way.” – A. Mill
“Hello, I attended the Epic 8 Hour riding with 1 of 3 teams. It was my first race and I am glad to say we finished second in the 80-119. I just wanted to say what a fantastic job the volunteers did, also it was so well organized and I look forward to attending the Fall 8 hour, thank you very much for the great time at Hardwood Hills and keep up the great work. Cheers” – J. Leenders
