Laramie Range Epic - JULY 29TH, 2023
The Laramie Range Epic (formally called the Laramie Enduro) has been around since 1998!
This year's event offers two racing options:
One and Done - A one lap, 32 mile loop (3190 ft of climbing/descending per lap, all over 7500 ft in elevation) winding through the Pole Mountain trail system. Racers will be supported by the famous Laramie Range Epic Volunteers and sponsors who have made this race as fun and approachable as it is challenging and competitive.
The Laramie Range Epic - The same course with a second lap. This is type two fun. It is going to hurt, but in a really good way. Same great support on both laps, and the beer at the end of the race has been on ice longer.
Free - Laramie Range Epic Training Plan
If you are planning on registering for the Laramie Range Epic - get an 8-week training plan designed by Coach Melissa Ross (Link Cycling) for FREE (a $75 value)!!
There is a plan for both the One and Done and the 62 mile race.
The 8-week training plan will prepare you for the challenging terrain and starts out with a field test so you can determine your heart rate or power training zones.
If you have a busy work schedule, the intervals can be done on your road or mountain bike. On the weekends, hit the trails for a gradual build each weekend.
Included in the training calendar is a list of local events you should also sign up for as part of your LRE training.
