ABOUT

Winner Epic Israel is a four-day event delivering a once-in-a-lifetime experience for its participants — an experience that, until 2013, could only be found at a handful of events worldwide.

Winner Epic Israel is an international (S1) four-day team mountain bike stage race designed for riders whose hearts are filled by long hours in the saddle, challenging distances, and the breathtaking landscapes of Israel.

The race routes change every year, providing riders with a diverse, balanced, and demanding experience, ranging between 75 and 110 km per day. The true challenge is to beat the cut-off time and reach the finish line each day.

Alongside the full and highly demanding tour, the event also includes a relay category (teams of four) and one-day marathon events in both medium and long-distance formats.

The festive one-day event takes place twice:

On Thursday, for Sabbath observers
On Saturday, as part of the exciting final day of the four-day tour

Together, these events create a joyful and emotional cycling festival, bringing together families, fresh finishers of the full tour, and one-day marathon participants.

Throughout the event, a dedicated “Race Village” is built where riders stay during the competition. The Race Village provides all the comforts, services, and support riders need during the four-day event experience.

The race is a FULL BOARD event. The registration package includes complete nutrition support — from all meals to a comprehensive professional sports nutrition package. In addition, several accommodation options are available, allowing each participant to choose the setup that suits them best.

Winner Epic Israel is also a memorial event honoring the memory of Giora Tzachor, whose life was guided by perseverance in the face of challenges, professionalism, determination, and deep love for the land of Israel.

The Winner Epic Israel team is committed to accompanying every rider from the moment of registration through crossing the finish line — helping participants prepare for this unique challenge, supporting them along the way, and creating the optimal conditions for every rider to become a proud finisher.

2026 — “Back to the North” Edition

Winner Epic Israel 2026 returns to the Western Galilee with the special “Back to the North” edition and will be hosted by the Mateh Asher Regional Council.

The Race Village will be based around the council area together with Aqueduct Resort and Dolphin Village in Shavei Zion.
