More than 250 teams from all over the world will be competing in the 2019 edition of the Swiss Epic. That's more starting places than in previous years. So it comes as a positive surprise that they are selling out faster than ever before.

"An unforgettable experience"

Race director Corina Feuerstein did not expect the event in the canton of Graubünden to attract so much interest and is full of praise: "We would like to thank our venues, partners, media, volunteers and especially all the riders who are part of this journey. Without them, it would not have been possible to reach this milestone. The Swiss Epic is a special event and we look forward to sharing an unforgettable experience with our riders this year."

The 500 or so participants will receive a further tranche of information at the end of February. The first details of the 350-kilometre route with 12,000 meters of elevation gain will then be announced.
