We are beyond excited for what we have in store for the 2025 Ogre! We are taking our racers west into some lesser known mountain ranges—mountain ranges that, if you can believe it, we love even more than the Tetons! This area has high peaks, desolate valleys, and layers upon layers of incredible history, including 10,000 year old pictographs and ghost mining towns from the 1890s. Racers can expect rugged terrain with loads of elevation gain and spectacular views that might even stop the fastest teams in their tracks in order to take it in.

Something very different and new is coming to the Shenandoah Epic this year…GPS devices!

Bring your iPhones and iPads, Garmin watches without AR mode, hell bring a laptop computer if that is the way you want to roll. There will be no holds barred on what device you want to utilize to aid your navigation around the course. The choice is yours.
