A FUSION OF ADVENTURE & PURPOSE
From May 6th to 10th, 2024, EPIC5 athletes will dive headfirst into the ultimate endurance challenge: five islands, five grueling triathlons, and five days of relentless pursuit. The course winds through lush rainforests, along pristine coastlines, and up volcanic slopes. It's a symphony of sweat, determination, and sheer willpower.
The 703-mile multi-day triathlon promises to test the mettle of these remarkable athletes. But it's not just about personal achievement; it's about kokua — the Hawaiian principle of helping and giving back. EPIC5 has partnered with Special Olympics Hawaii, and encourages our athletes to raise funds to create a lasting impact.
Together, our athletes embody the spirit of EPIC5: physical prowess, cultural immersion, and a commitment to making the world a better place.
