Epic Course
The colors are there to help you choose which difficulty level you want to attempt. Currently, Green = Novice, Blue = Intermediate, and Black = Advanced.
The Epic open course is for ages 12 and up. The epic elite course is for ages 18 and up.
Nope, we believe in having fun without getting all muddy! If it rains, there may be some mud on the course, but we will never create obstacles that intentionally include mud.
Field size and terrain play a part in how many obstacles we are able to put out on the course, but typically we get between 15 – 25 obstacles out on the course for you!
The EPIC Course is approximately 1.5 to 1.75 miles long. The course layout changes at each venue location so actual course length will vary per event. It takes the average participant approximately 45-60 minutes to complete.
The ELITE Course and EPIC Course are two completely separate courses. The EPIC Course is longer, has more obstacles, and offers different difficulty level options at each obstacle. The ELITE Course is an optional course intended for competitive athletes to complete after they have finished the EPIC Course competitive waves. The ELITE Course is much shorter, has approximately 10 strength challenges incorporating heavier weights, barbells, kettlebells, Atlas Stones, and a truck pull. The ELITE Course is divided into two divisions: Strength (heavier weights, less reps) and Endurance (lighter weights, more reps). Weight standards are different for Men and Women. Athletes run through the ELITE Course individually with a judge and must complete the course within a certain amount of time. Completing the EPIC Course in the competitive waves is a mandatory prerequisite to completing the ELITE Course.
The satisfaction and bragging rights of completing the most EPIC race ever! Oh yeah, plus a free EPIC participant T-shirt, sweet finisher medal, free event photos, an invitation to the most EPIC post-race party, and an insanely fun time with us at EPIC Series!
Elite Course
Once an Athlete completes the EPIC Course in the competitive waves, they will then head over to the ELITE Check-In tent to check in. When it is their turn to compete, their judge will call them up to the ELITE Check-In tent and take them through their designated course lane. The Athlete will run the course individually with their assigned judge and have a certain amount of time in which to complete the entire course. Men and Women will have different weight standards for the Strength and Endurance divisions. The Top 3 Men and Women in both the Strength and Endurance divisions with the fastest combined EPIC Course ELITE Course completion times will be given EPIC prizes during the Awards Ceremony!
ELITE Strength division involves heavier weights and less repetitions. ELITE Endurance division involves lighter weights with more repetitions.
No, joining a team is not mandatory, but it is much more fun to race with friends!
At the moment we do not permit multiple laps of the course. If you want to be on the course after your run to assist another Athlete, that is permitted as long as you do not obstruct any other Athletes from completing any obstacles. You will also only receive one finisher medal and T-shirt after completion of your original run through the course.
You can upgrade on site, the day of the race. OR you can email info@epicseriesocr.com before. Upgrades are subject to a price increase.
The EPIC Course and ELITE Course are two completely separate courses. The EPIC Course is longer, has more obstacles, offers different difficulty level options at each obstacle, and Athletes are released in group waves. The ELITE Course is an optional course intended for competitive athletes to complete after they have finished the EPIC Course competitive waves. The ELITE Course is much shorter, has approximately 10 strength challenges incorporating heavier weights, barbells, kettlebells, Atlas Stones, and a truck pull. Athletes run through the ELITE Course individually with a judge and must complete the course within a certain amount of time. Completing the EPIC Course in the competitive waves is a mandatory prerequisite to completing the ELITE Course.
Elite Waves are more expensive because athletes in these waves are competing for podium prizes. They are also competing on two obstacle courses.
Currently the ELITE Course costs $35 on top of the EPIC Course Competitive Wave price.
Go to the event Sign Up page and create an account. Select “EPIC Course ELITE Course” from the registration options. Then select your EPIC Course Competitive Wave start time. If you want to join a team, create or join a team to the right of your selected EPIC Course competitive wave start time. Continue to the next page and follow the prompts. Later in the form you will be asked to select your ELITE Course start time from a drop-down menu. IMPORTANT: Make sure your ELITE Course start time selection reflects both your gender (Men or Women) and the division you want to compete in (Strength or Endurance). Continue through the form all the way to payment submission.

Yes! However, this takes some administrative magic to enter into the registration system correctly. To do this, simply sign up for the EPIC Course ELITE Course registration option, go through the registration form, and sign up for either the ELITE Strength or Endurance course, then submit payment. After you’re finished, e-mail info@epicseriesocr.com and let them know you would also like to sign up for the other ELITE Course. Someone from the EPIC Team will get back to you with further instructions and most likely a magic spell.
The initial Truck Pull has a time cap of 90-seconds, and a 2:30 time penalty if not completed within the time cap. All other obstacles to do not have individual time caps, but Athletes must complete the course within 15 minutes. If they do not, all obstacles not completed by the time 15 minutes has elapsed will receive a 2:30 time penalty per incomplete obstacle.
If you cannot complete an obstacle, then you cannot progress any further through the course until you finish the obstacle or the time cap for the ELITE Course elapses.
