About the event:The Pikes Peak Marathon, founded in 1956, is the oldest continually held marathon in the United States, taking runners from Manitou Springs, Colorado, to the summit of Pikes Peak at 14,115 feet, and back down for a total of 26.2 grueling mountain miles. It and its sister race, the Pikes Peak Ascent, each climb about 7,800 vertical feet up the historic Barr Trail on the east face of the mountain. The Ascent, which climbs 13.3 miles to finish at the summit, used to be held on the same day as the Marathon but became its own event in the 1980s due to its popularity.
Aid stations:Throughout the course, there will be water, Tailwind Hydration, and snacks like fruit, candy, and pretzels. New in 2025, Naak Nutrition will be providing Boost Energy Gel for runners along the course. Runners are encouraged to take in as much fluid as possible, not only water, but electrolyte replacement drinks. Recent data has shown that some competitors may become extremely ill, not just from dehydration, but from low sodium caused by electrolytes being washed out of the system. Drink your Tailwind!

With but one really poor fire road going anywhere near Barr Trail, just HOW is all that drinking water provided at the aid stations?
Barr Camp and the A-Frame - volunteers arrive Friday and spend the weekend on the mountain and hand pump water through a filter system.
Top of W's, No Name Creek, Bob's Road, and Cirque - the water is transported by vehicle to points on the mountain where it then is piped (through several thousand feet of hose put in place by the operations team and other volunteers) to aid stations.
