Lonely Planet's book Epic Runs of the World can only mean something like Awesome because it includes runs from a couple of miles up to hundreds of miles. So it has nothing to do with length.
The CoronaVirus is EPIC, and it is also truly AWESOME in its ability to shut things down and alter the course of history (except for the fact that this IS the course of history, and that the 'alter' history, that of NO CoronaVirus didn't happen).
EPIC also means The Odyssey and The Iliad, and we can, of course learn from these works because they are AWESOME in the sense of temporally removed (ancient) and yet resonant with present day structures of being.
My run today was what I would characterise as EPIC, and I also think it was one of my top 5 or top 10 runs of all time. I characterise it thus based solely on beauty. North of Bracknell (similar to South of Bracknell) is really really aesthetically pleasing, in a very English Way.
