Epic Team Category

*We have the right to combine categories with less than 5 racers.

Epic Team Category

The Epic Team Category allows a group of two to ten riders to switch off during the week to maximize the fun factor. As long as at least one of your team members finishes each day, you will be eligible for the Team General Classification and the Epic Team Cup. You will receive the same swag as solo riders and finishers swag only if you do all five stages yourself. Basically, this is the low cost way to take part in all the awesomeness of Trans-Sylvania. Complete Epic Team Category rules are available HERE.
