REGISTER FOR RWANDAN EPIC 24
Rwandan Epic 2024
The Rwandan Epic is back, starting on October 21st and Finishing on October 25th. With world and national champions on the list of previous winners, the Rwandan Epic promises to be as tough as it is beautiful. After each stage there is time to discover the stunning country as a tourist as well.
Every team that signs up, will be timed and ranked at the finish line. Solo riders are allowed to sign up and will be ranked in GC, but have no awards, jersey, or podium ceremony. Riders who lose a teammate along the race will also be allowed to continue solo, out of competition. Riders can compete on an e-bike but out-of competition*.
We strive to provide opportunities to as many of the East African talent as we can, and each entry to the race will sponsor 15% of an East African spot. Want to sponsor more, you can select some extra donation at checkout!**
* Be aware it’s difficult to travel with an e-bike, inform with your airline before booking!
** In case donations surpass the number of EA talent we manage to get to the in Rwandan Epic start line, 100% of funds will go to the development of the MTB sport in Rwanda.
