The 2023 True Grit Epic was held in Santa Clara, Utah on March 18, 2023. This year’s race was the 13th Annual edition of one of the more demanding early season mountain bike races in the country.
Organizer Cimarron Chacon of Gro Races put together a recap video that tells the Big Story of the day. She had this to say about it, “We get it. We’re still having flashbacks and smiling at wistful memories of this year’s True Grit Epic dancing in our heads too. To help scratch the itch check out this fantastic video of the Epic we put together.
The landscapes, the sky, the smiles, the grimaces, and all the riders like you… it’s all truly EPIC. Thank you for joining us and making the 2023 True Grit Epic MTB a race that keeps us all coming back year after year.”
