HOW IS THE ZONE URBAN EPIC THE COOLEST RACE AROUND?
This year’s Zone Urban Epic is everything you want in a triathlon. You will come away from the race feeling like a pro, and you will celebrate with friends and family right at the finish line. There will be elements that you won’t see at any other race you do in New England, including:
A BIKE COURSE THAT IS CLOSED TO CARS! This is your chance to race like a pro on City Streets, including Franklin Arterial, Marginal Way, Preble Street, and Baxter Blvd. We’re even closing down exits from the highway for you!
A SPECTACULAR RUN! Every moment of the entire course is on sidewalk and trail with stunning views of Casco Bay. No other triathlons can compare.
A FINISH ON THE MAINE STATE PIER in the HEART OF THE OLD PORT! With a massive stage, live music by Jason Spooner Trio, the Smuttynose Beer Garden, the Mammut Climbing Wall and lots of vendors, the Pier will be one awesome summertime party.
A LOT OF FUN FOR SPECTATORS! Unlike every other triathlon, the Zone Urban Epic offers lots for friends and family to do while you are out racing. From parks and playgrounds near the swim start, to a finish line festival, this event is fun for all. Plus we will have MULTIPLE ANNOUNCERS out on the course giving exciting updates all morning and keeping the energy high!
Plus so much more! As always, our goal is to provide the absolute best racing experience for you. We have the best staff, the best volunteers, and the best courses you can imagine. So don’t miss out on the coolest race this summer! |

The Epic Restaurant and Bar Challenge
Get your team together and be a part of one of Portland’s most happening summer events. (Plus, earn bragging rights for your restaurant or bar!)
Portland is filled with amazing restaurants and pubs, and we think it’s time to find out which one is the Most Epic. We’re challenging all the staff and loyal patrons of Portland’s food and drink establishments to put together Zone Urban Epic relay teams and compete for the title of “Most Epic Restaurant or Bar.”
Waitstaff, hosts, bartenders, chefs, managers, and even loyal patrons - you can all race for your restaurant or pub. Form a team of three, wear your establishment's shirts, fight hard for the finish, and then celebrate at the festival! The winning team gets a trophy to hang in their restaurant or bar, bragging rights, and a profile on our website.
Registration includes entry into the race, t-shirts, and post-race food and beverage. We have a special registration deal for restaurant and bar relay teams too so contact Amy at amy@urban-epic.com for more information and registration details.
Join us for the excitement of the race, and the post-race festival on the Maine State Pier featuring the Jason Spooner Trio and a Smuttynose Brewing Company beer garden.

Zone Urban Epic Going Green Again!
We found out that one of your favorite things about the Zone Urban Epic race last year was the way it treated the environment. We're bringing Bruce Rayner back from Athletes for a Fit Planet to manage our green compliance - everything from organic foods at the festival to recycling waste and purchasing carbon offsets for the entire event. |
