The Emerald Mountain Epic is a challenging backcountry race experience showcasing some of Steamboat Springs' finest singletrack, while also acting as a fundraiser for Partners in Routt County and Routt County Riders.
THANK YOU for signing up to challenge yourself to complete the same lengths as the actual event at your own pace, and on your own time.
Whether you choose to do the 26-mile mountain bike ride (same as our 1-lap Duo course), a 52-mile mountain bike ride (same as our 2-lap Solo course), a trail half marathon, and/or a trail full marathon, we appreciate your effort.
Just because it's a “virtual” race doesn’t mean you have to do it inside on your trainer or treadmill. In fact, we’d prefer to see you enjoying the vast, great outdoors.
If you are in the Yampa Valley, or able to travel here, do the virtual event on the actual race course. However, if you can’t visit us, we encourage you to find a trail of similar length and elevation near you. For ideas, you may want to reach out to your local run or bike shop.
Just by completing your virtual event you'll be entered to win one of a few great prizes donated by our sponsors. This year's prizes include things like:
And for those who go above and beyond in terms of elevation gain and total distance, there are several opportunities to earn additional prize entries. (see below)
Alchemy Body & Bike Hill Climb:
At mile marker 2.4 in the Emerald Mountain Epic comes the Alchemy Body & Bike Hill Climb. Hopefully at this point in your virtual race you've managed to squeeze in a hill or two.
Epic High Point:
You've got some serious endurance and climbing skills if you manage to reach 3,200 in total elevation gain. Once you get there, you'll earn another entry into our giveaway for riding a similar elevation profile that it would take the reach the Epic High Point segment, presented by Billo.
Emerald Mountain Epic:
There's epic, and then there's Emerald Mountain Epic... You, my friend, are Emerald Mountain Epic by completing your challenge! You've earned 1 entry in our prize giveaway!
We went to the rule books, researched for hours, and it's official... your effort is also worthy of a post-race brewski! Don't forget that you will receive a ticket in your race packet for a free pint at Storm Peak Brewing (1885 Elk River Plaza)!
We’re excited to offer all of our virtual participants the same great swag as our in-person racers. Your packet will include a race t-shirt, a custom Emerald Mountain Epic water bottle, product samples and discounts from our sponsors!
If you're local to Steamboat Springs, you can pick up your racer packet on Friday, August 5th from 3pm-8pm at Hard Headed of Steamboat.
If you live outside of Steamboat and would prefer to have your racer packet mailed to you, please email racedirector@emeraldmtnepic.org to make arrangements.
Please understand that due to shipping delays, we are unable to promise racer packets prior to August 5th. If goodies like t-shirts and water bottles arrive early, we will make every effort to ship the items sooner.
Share your experience with the Emerald Mountain Epic community! Take photos, selfies and group shots from your virtual race and post them to social media.
Posting photos tagged with #EmeraldEpic2022 will earn you additional entries into the grand prize drawing!!! Let's see your smile.
