About This Race
Founded in 1956, the Pikes Peak Marathon is the oldest continuously held marathon in the United States. The 26.2-mile course ascends 7,800 feet from Manitou Springs (6,295 ft) to the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak via the historic Barr Trail, then returns down the same route. The weekend also features the Saturday Pikes Peak Ascent, a 13.3-mile race to the summit only. Operated under a special use permit from the Pike National Forest.
