Inaugural Race Year: 1956
Current Course Used in Years: 1976 - present
Current Course Info: The Pikes Peak Marathon starts near City Hall in Manitou Springs. It follows Manitou Ave, turns left on Ruxton, goes past the Cox Railway Station and connects to Barr Trail. The course then follows Barr Trail to the top of Pikes Peak. Then runners come back down Barr Trail and finish in Manitou Springs near the intersection of Manitou Ave and Ruxton.
Note: In 2018, there was a slight modification to the start and finish. Construction work on a sink hole on Manitou Ave where the Marathon normally finishes prevented use of the normal finish location. Thus the finish was moved to the end of Ruxton Ave where it intersects with Manitou Ave. Thus runners did not make the final left turn, making the finish about 100 feet short of it's normal location. To account for the difference, the start line was moved about 100 feet east of the normal location. The race organizers deem the 2018 course as "reasonably equivalent" to the normal course, thus the 2018 results are part of the course records.
