As with similar events such as the Cape Epic or the Transalp, the Swiss Epic starts in teams of two. On the classic route, the categories of men (2 men), women (2 women), mixed (1 man, 1 woman) and masters (2 men, both older than 40) are available. The so-called Flow category is unusual in that many of the ascents will be mastered by cable car or post bus and the focus will be much more on fun than ranking-oriented performance. In addition to the usual services for competitions, the entry fee also includes all overnight stays with dinner as well as luggage transportation.

Because demand for starting places is expected to be high, team starting places will be allocated by lottery. The first draw will take place on November 1, 2013. People who do not win a starting place in the first draw will remain in the lottery and can win in the next draw. The date of the second draw will be announced on the website and via newsletter.Information about registration:
