Expo/Vendor

2020 provided more than its fair share of challenges.  As we look forward to 2021, we do not yet know whether we will be able to bring back activities like the Expo, Run Fest, and Pasta Dinner.  While we are immensely hopeful that 2021 will look more ‘normal’, we are realistic in knowing that we must cooperate with our state and local health department authorities to ensure that, above all, we put on a top notch race while keeping our runners safe.

If you are interested in updates regarding Expo booths or involvement at our event-weekend activities, please email us at info@pikespeakmarathon.org and we will keep you posted!

Run to Live,
Ron Ilgen
Race Director

Fun Fact!

In 1972 Peter Strudwick did the Ascent in 4:20:29 and the Marathon in 7:02:28. What is so incredible about that you ask? Well, soon after his mother had caught rubella, commonly called German measles, Peter was born with legs that ended in stumps just past the ankles, a left arm that had only one thumb and a finger, and a right arm ending at the wrist.
When Zebulon Pike tried to ascend the mountain that would later be named after him he was turned back by the harsh weather. Many claim he said that no one would ever reach its summit. However, it is generally accepted that he meant on that day, under those conditions. The snow was waist deep and his men were not dressed for it and were out of food.
“Militant tobacco-hating physician” Dr. Arne Suominen from Delray Beach FL, became the founder of the modern day Pikes Peak races when he wrote a letter to the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce in 1956 and challenged cigarette smokers to race him up and down Pikes Peak. 1956 Results
