The flagship race.

The Epic Trail starts at night, and many finish at night too: 65 kilometers and more than 5,000 meters of elevation gain that cross Sierra Blanca twice and reach as far as Istán. It requires proven long-distance experience. It's not for everyone. That's exactly what makes it epic.
