Back for its 5th year, this April’s Shenandoah Epic 26-hour Adventure Race will feature parts of this breathtaking area you may not have seen before. With the Shenandoah Valley, Massanutten Mountain, and Skyline Drive as the backdrop, racers navigate by trekking, mountain biking, and paddling and complete a challenge or two. The course runs throughout George Washington National Forest, along the Shenandoah River, and in Shenandoah River State Park, offering truly epic terrain, natural features, and plenty of challenges for beginner and experienced adventure racers alike.

We love this race—it’s in our neck of the woods and brings out a fabulous community of racers. The Epic is the perfect kickoff to the season and an excellent qualifier for our Cameco Cowboy Tough Epic 3.5-day Adventure Race held in July in Wyoming. Come on out and join us in the outdoors—having fun, bonding with friends and other racers, and feeling pretty darn good about what you did this weekend.
