Pikes Peak Ultra

Pikes Peak Ultra, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, offers 20K, 30K, 50K, and 50 Mile races. Starting at Bear Creek Regional Park, the course climbs via High Drive into Cheyenne Canon, then traverses the Seven Bridges Trail before routing up Pipeline Trail. Much of the route is crushed granite, with sweeping views of Pikes Peak along Ring the Peak.

The 50K and 50 Mile include a Mt. Rosa summit for panoramic city vistas. Elevation ranges from about 6,170 feet at the low point to roughly 11,900+ feet at the high point, with substantial cumulative gain.

Runners participate cupless, with water dispensers at the start/finish and at every aid station. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
