The seeming opposition between life and death is now cut through.  Do not thrash or lunge or flee.  There is no longer a container or anything to be contained.  All is resolved in dazzling measureless freedom.

The Epic Concept

The Thursday Evening Epic events are non-competitive, adventurous training runs HELD YEAR ROUND on and off trails in southcentral Alaska.  Generally these events are of 2 to 4 hours duration.  Participants are expected to be capable of surviving the difficult conditions present, which often include, but are not limited to, rugged terrain, nearly impenetrable vegetation, severe weather, uncertain routes....  Participants and leaders MUST BE SELF SUFFICIENT.  If adversity happens, participants and leaders MUST BE COMMITTED TO SELF RESCUE.
