Event FAQ:How much of the event is team-based vs individual effort?Similar to a Spartan Hurricane Heat, there will be opportunities for both teamwork and individual performance. Ultimately, each participant will be on a team competing against other teams to complete objectives during the event.
A wide-range of skill sets will be necessary to succeed, allowing teams to decide how to utilize their best athletes, leaders, problem solvers, strategists, communicators, etc. to achieve their objectives.
I've never done an endurance event or adventure race, should I sign up?Yes of course :). EPIC events are designed so that every participant, regardless of experience or skill can contribute and complete the event in a meaningful way. The endurance and adventure race community is famously known for being supportive and inclusive of every participant.
Those unsure of what to expect can signup for the 3HR event and will have an option to continue on for the 6HR or 12HR if they choose to.
What are EPIC events and who is responsible for organizing them?EPIC events were created in 2019 by ElevateOCR and Clay Speakman (Spartan Coach & Endurance Krypteia, Death Race finisher and 2-time Spartan Agoge finisher) as an entry point to more difficult endurance events. The typical event staff for EPIC events includes volunteers that have completed some of the hardest endurance events in the world and are looking to help others along in their journey.
The March 5th Winter EPIC will be the 5th event in the series.
Will there be swag, medals, patches, prizes, etc.?Yes, you will earn things for your good work. To know what we mean, you'll need to show up :)
If I have more questions, is it ok to ask them?Yes, this a question friendly event. Feel free to send your questions to info@elevateocr.com or post them on the group Facebook page.
What if I can't attend the event but want to support the E360 Foundation?You may send a donation directly to the foundation that will provide disabled athletes and their support teams with free entries to obstacle races such as Obstacle Wonderland in Wallkill NY, Spartan races across the US and other leading races.
