what is epic series
EPIC Series is the first ever functional fitness obstacle course, and it's followed up by an awesome post party with gear tents, live music, and lots of food where all of our EPIC athletes can bond over their mutual achievement. We've crafted a course with more than a dozen serious fitness challenges, plus cardio and plyometric routines, that will push people to their limits. Do you have what it takes to be EPIC? Find out at one of our upcoming events.
Q: What's the difference between the EPIC Race and EPIC Elite Challenge?
A: If you sign up for the EPIC Elite Challenge you will first run in the EPIC Race Course. After you complete this course, you will then compete in the Elite Challenge as described below. When you register for the Elite Challenge you will be given the opportunity to choose a heat in the Race Course.
epic race challenge
The EPIC Race course is 12+ functional fitness challenges laid out on a course like nothing you’ve experienced. Designed using the principles of cross-training, bootcamp, strongman, and endurance competitions, this course will break you down and build you back up!
Whether you're competing against others or trying to achieve your personal best, make no mistake, this is a race.
Each challenge is followed by a “function lap”, which involves running an awkward object around the course. This is time to let certain muscles breath and make up some time if you’re lagging.
Who Can Do This?: Whether you’re a beginner or a beast, all challenges are fully scalable and modifiable. Challenging and fun for the rookie, yet grueling and demanding enough to test the truly epic athlete.
epic elite challenge:
Think you have what it takes to be in the EPIC Elite? First you must complete the EPIC Race Challenge with no scaling or modifying allowed. After completing the EPIC Race Challenge you will have a short rest before you begin the Elite Challenge: a 10 minute AMRAP (As Many Repetitions As Possible).
Example 10 minute AMRAP: Tractor Pull across line, 20 Toes-To-Bar, 10 Walking Lunges, Atlas Stone Ladder, Burpee Pull Ups.
NOTE: This is a competitive division. Elite Division will be scored on the following:
50% = EPIC Race Course Time
50% = EPIC Elite Challenge Reps
Finish with the best combined ranking and you will be deemed the "The Most EPIC Amongst Us" and rock your championship belt with pride!
Other than the bragging rights of competing in the EPIC Elite Challenge, the EPIC Elite athlete will also receive special gear in their swag bag.
Who Can Do This?: The Elite competition is recommended for those fierce competitors who are up for an additional intense challenge and want to see where they rank among the other EPIC Elite Athletes. Functional fitness training of some type is recommended. It's called Elite for a reason!
