Carpathian MTB Epic is a high standard competition set to offer foreign and local cyclists the opportunity to race and to discover the beauty of Romania and the Carpathian mountains. Consequently, the event strives to be a major influence in the development of the sport, both at local and regional level.
Carpathian MTB Epic is the culmination of years of hard work, backed up by passion and determination. Here, at MPG Romania, we set out to create an epic event both professional and aspiring riders would enjoy and to challenge not only you, as participant, but also the entire organizing team. This is why we took our time and for over 60 cycling and running marathons we have developed and improved operational procedures and have grown a large network of passionate collaborators.
Today, we are excited to share with you an amazing experience which we believe is unique through a mix of great scenery that only Romania has to offer, exceptional services and fabulous teamwork.
We believe in moving the world through sport and we challenge you to join us and make the epic adventure your own!
