KoreaEpicRide is a self-supported bikepacking event. It is a group ride; you start the first day of the event, at the same time. However, you decide where to eat and where to sleep. Wild camping or commercial campsites are recommended. And, from 2025, commercial accommodation will also be permitted. You can use the restaurant or buy groceries on the route.
You have to pass pre-determined checkpoints for each course, and no one is checking to see if you follow the set route. We leave it to your conscience.
We want you to experience the freedom and enjoyment that cycling offers through outdoor activities related to cycling. We pursuit activities that allow more people to gain these experiences.
