Emerald Mountain Epic

In 2020 we are proud to introduce the Emerald Mountain Epic presented by Honey Stinger! Previously named the Steamboat Stinger, it aims to provide a challenging backcountry race experience showcasing some of Steamboat Springs' finest singletrack.

In addition to the Saturday mountain bike race, we feature a full and half trail marathon on Sunday. These two events can be separate or, if you wish to take the ultimate challenge, you can participate in both - the 50 mile solo mountain bike race as well as the 26.2 trail marathon the following day. The male and female winners with the lowest combined bike and run times shall be crowned King and Queen of the 'Boat.

The Emerald Mountain Epic is currently scheduled to take place as planned on August 8 and 9. The safety of our participants, vendors, and volunteers is our absolute top priority and we are monitoring the developing situation on a daily basis. We are following the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s (CDPHE) guidelines and recommendations for gatherings and sporting events. In the event that this race can't occur due to longer-reaching recommendations on large events and gatherings, rest assured that your registration fee will be refunded.

Our team understands this is an uncertain time and appreciates your patience and support moving forward. We know that this event, and the beautiful trail system it celebrates, is treasured by the local community and visitors alike. We encourage folks to enjoy getting outside to stay in shape and blow off steam however it makes sense in your current and ever-changing situation! We will stay in touch about the status of race as well as posting updates to our website and Instagram/Facebook as we are able.
