Pikes Peak Marathon
19 September 2027 · Manitou Springs, United States
Enter on the race websiteYou climb from Manitou Springs City Hall to the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak and come back down the same way, gaining about 7,800 feet. After 1.5 miles of road you join Barr Trail, which averages an 11 percent grade on narrow, winding gravel, rock and dirt through forest and above the treeline. The descent usually takes around 63 percent of your ascent time and still has a few uphill pitches. The Forest Service caps entries, so the race can sell out. Past results are used to place you in a start wave, and no qualifier is needed.
