Get ready to push limits, chase sunrises, and write your own story in the wild—because the Shenandoah Epic 24-Hour Adventure Race returns April 11-12, 2026, for its 15th legendary year in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.
This iconic race is more than just a challenge—it’s a rite of passage. Whether you're a seasoned AR veteran or gearing up for your first taste of the unknown, it's time to add your name to the roster. Spots vanish fast. With a cap of 300 racers and a history of sell-outs, this is your moment to lock in.
What’s in store?
- A full-throttle mix of trekking, biking, paddling, and navigation across the stunning Shenandoah Valley and the rugged Massanutten Mountain Range.
- A fresh twist for 2026: multiple transitions over 24 hours, with a creative reimagining of how and where your transition areas unfold.
Why Epic?
Because it’s not just a race—it’s a journey of grit, growth, and discovery. The Shenandoah Epic is one of the longest-running 24-hour adventure races on the East Coast, and it’s earned its reputation as a must-do event for anyone who craves challenge and connection.
Don’t wait. Secure your spot, start training, and prepare for an experience that will test your body, sharpen your mind, and leave you changed.
