2024 Pikes Peak Apex
The Pikes Peak APEX is a unique multi-day mountain bike challenge on the slopes of Pikes Peak, America’s Mountain. Choose to race one day, two days, or all three days! The event features exhilarating, exceptionally crafted routes through dirt roads, jeep trails, and the amazing alpine singletrack that is quintessential Pikes Peak. The terrain will be challenging, but not overly technical. This Rocky Mountain trail experience through the aspens in Colorado’s backcountry will draw not only professional riders, but also amateur cyclists looking for a bucket list endurance experience.
Format
Is it a stage race? Is it a multi-day Gran Fondo? Is it a backcountry adventure on the slopes of Pikes Peak? Is it a celebration of bikes in Olympic City, USA? The answer is YES.
The event is designed to be challenging, but not too technical. Let’s just say the courses will be somewhere in between the Leadville 100 and the Breck Epic when it comes to technical difficulty.
The Pikes Peaks APEX is held under USA Cycling rules.
