The Epik was established to attract sports tourism to the Mt. Kenya region and showcase what it has to offer the outdoor, extreme sports enthusiast while providing riders the opportunity to interact with local communities and witness some of the beautiful scenery and landscapes surrounding Mt. Kenya that otherwise might not seen. The two-man team of Kenyan riders Joseph Echuwa and Samwel Mwangi won the 300km, 4-day race crossing the finish line in 10hrs 31mins and 05secs.
