The award-winning Flight Centre Cycle & Trail Run Epic is a great mountain biking tradition that began in 2002 with a bunch of mates challenging themselves on a 117km epic trail ride. In 2003, the inaugural Australian mountain bike marathon started a new era in the sport.

Over the past 20+ years, the EPIC has gone through multiple evolution’s, where now the entirety of all races are run on our HVAP property. The track-building team have worked hard to develop extensive tracks of an international standard – creating rides that cater for different ages and skill levels.

The 2025 EPIC weekend now has something for everyone, from the novice riders through to the professionals of each discipline, offering 7 races over 2 days and several categories to challenge and reward riders.

Be a part of this iconic event, register early and join in the festivities.
