EPIC5 Ultra Endurance Adventures
E komo mai
Welcome. Since 2010, EPIC5 has been offering endurance athletes and their support teams with unique, “once-in-a-life-time” ultra endurance athletic events which have been life-changing for many participants. Our mission is to provide athletes with the opportunity for spiritual, mental and physical growth through extreme physical challenges in adventurous settings.
The purpose for our next set of events is to challenge ourselves physically while embracing the rich history and culture of the Hawaiian islands, and to enrich the guiding principle of kokua – to help & give back. Specifically, we are partnering with Special Olympics Hawaii to raise funds for their local teams.
We are looking for solid athletes with a passion for adventure and a desire to make the world a better place. Are you up for the challenge?
