Mt. Borah Epic prepares for a big year two

The second annual Mt. Borah Epic is set to pay Tribute to the Trails on Saturday, May 31, 2014. 

Now open to 500 riders, up from the 300-rider cap in 2013, the race will host both the original distance of 30 miles and also a Half Epic, approximately 17 miles.  The Half Epic is open to adults and juniors, and will function as the premier junior competition for those aged 17 and under.

Beyond the race details, Mt. Borah hopes to double its contribution to benefit the trails and the CAMBA organization.  The charity donation is funded from rider registrations, sponsorship contributions, and for 2014, a live bike auction, powered by Trek Bikes, another Wisconsin-based company.

"We were able to bring a unique race experience that you can't find anywhere else in the Midwest,” said Jack Zabrowski, the Epic’s Race Director.   “Because of the phenomenal trail system built by CAMBA, a community of local volunteers dedicating their time and support, and the forward vision of Mt. Borah to pay tribute to these trails with a mountain bike race, it was a home run from year one,” added Zabrowski. 

Registration is filling by the day and will most likely cap weeks before race day.  Riders are encouraged to register ASAP.  To learn more about the Epic and stay tuned on event details, visit mtborahepic.com.
