Course Information:
Pikes Peak Marathon® will redefine what you call running. Sure, it starts out like a lot of races on Any Street, USA. But your first left turn will have you turning in the direction of up! During the next 10 miles, as you gain almost 6,000 vertical feet, your legs, lungs, heart and mind will be worn to a ragged nothingness. But it won’t be until your last three miles, with still over 2,000' of vertical to go, that you will realize where the Marathon got its moniker—America’s Ultimate Challenge. There’s a reason trees don’t bother growing above 12,000' on Pikes Peak. They can’t! Above treeline most runners take 30 minutes or more, some much more, just to cover a mile.
