Borah Epic Donates $17,500 to CAMBA

The numbers are in and it’s time to celebrate another wildly successful Borah Epic! In only its third year, the Borah Epic was able to generate a donation of $17,500 to directly benefit the Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association. The funds will be used to create new trails, reroute existing trails, and maintain one of the top single track trail systems in the country. According to Ron Bergin, CAMBA Executive Director, “We couldn’t be more excited about the continued success of this annual event. It has quickly become one of our top fundraising vehicles and the ultimate opportunity to showcase our extensive trail system.”

This year’s event saw over 600 riders line up for the full and half race distances. Enthusiastic riders traveled from all over the Midwest to support the event and enjoy the epic trails. Upon finishing the race, riders were greeted with a festive atmosphere, which included a vendor expo, music by Molly and the Danger Band, Angry Minnow beer and Jack Links sausages. Speaking on behalf of the entire Borah Epic crew, Chris Jackson, Borah Teamwear CEO had this to say, “It’s unusual to have an idea like this exceed our original vision of success. While we all knew the potential of the event, we realized how competitive the event business is and the challenge of creating one that sticks. We have been incredibly fortunate to have received the support of the participants, volunteers, sponsors and community and we look forward to many more years of success and being able to contribute to CAMBA’s mission.” To learn more about the Borah Epic, stay updated on event details, inquire about sponsorship opportunities or to volunteer, please visit www.mtborahepic.com.
