Experience the unparalleled thrill of the 2026 Emerald Mountain Epic, an exhilarating celebration of endurance and skill that spans both mountain biking and trail running. Set amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Routt County, this race promises a uniquely rewarding journey for athletes at all levels. On August 8th, test your limits on the challenging yet scenic trails as you tackle the Solo Race over 52 miles with an impressive elevation gain of nearly 6,600 feet. For those seeking team spirit and camaraderie, the Duo Relay offers a thrilling two-lap adventure through the mountains. On August 9th, lace up your running shoes for the Full Marathon or Half Marathon courses that weave their way through the rugged terrain with stunning elevation gains of about 3,300 feet and 1,500 feet respectively. For those who wish to combine both disciplines, the Duo Marathon challenges you to complete two separate but equal laps. But what sets this event apart is its unique Royal categories: the King and Queen of the Boat, where your best times from both days are combined for a chance at glory; and the Prince and Princess of the Boat, which recognize top performances in specific relay teams. This dual-event format ensures that every participant can find their perfect challenge. With only 500 racers allowed on each start line to preserve the integrity and beauty of Emerald Mountain's trails, this event is a must for serious athletes looking for an unforgettable experience. Whether you're competing or spectating, the atmosphere at the 2026 Emerald Mountain Epic will be one filled with excitement, camaraderie, and the sheer joy of pushing your personal limits.
