The annual Elephant EPIC mountain bike race from Lusaka to the Lower Zambezi, began in 2012 with only 16 riders. Today it attracts over 200 eager cyclists from all over Zambia.
The race follows a rugged and beautiful route from Lusaka to the Lower Zambezi down the escarpment, covering a distance of approximately 75 km. Long enough to be a challenge, yet short enough to attract riders of wide ranging abilities, the route showcases the remote and beautiful Zambian scenery.
