epyic Explorer Melbourne | Grit & Grace

Welcome back, epyic crew - and welcome to our new subscribers 👋❤️

This week is all about grit and grace. From the Marysville Marathon to Stride or Ride, it’s adventure with purpose. For those already training ahead, the Aussie Alpine Backyard Ultra is calling. Whether you’re running, pedaling, hiking, diving, or SUPing, there’s something on for you. And over at epyic.com, we’ve started counting backwards. The countdown is on, and you’ll read about it here first.

Much love, and see you out there.

🏃 Aussie Alpine Backyard Ultra
Set in Victoria’s alpine heartland, the Aussie Alpine Backyard Ultra at Falls Creek challenges runners to complete a 6.71 km loop every hour, on the hour with 200 meters of elevation each lap until only one runner remains. Whether you’re chasing one loop or forty, it’s a race of resilience, strategy, and sheer mental grit, set against sweeping mountain views and a community that celebrates every effort.

🥾🚴 Stride or Ride 2025 – Adventure with Purpose
Stride or Ride 2025 is back to bring walkers and cyclists together along the stunning Portsea and Sorrento coastline, all in support of The Portsea Camp. Every step and every kilometer helps fund outdoor programs that empower vulnerable children through nature-based experiences that build confidence, resilience, and connection. A beautiful day out that makes a real difference. One stride or ride at a time
