The cut-off times are strictly adhered to. In the event of severe
weather, these cut-off times can be moved up for the safety of both
runners and volunteers. The cut-off times in the Ascent were moved up in
2004, 2005 and 2008.Finisher Technical Shirt4All runners who complete
the race within the cut-off times will receive a finisher Technical
Shirt. That is, you must finish the race (within cut-off times) to earn
your Technical Shirt. If the cut-off times are moved up because of
severe weather, you must meet the adjusted cut-off times to receive a
finisher Technical Shirt.Course5Course information, including maps and a

to race start6From I-25, take the Cimmaron exit (Exit 141). Head west
on Cimmaron (towards the mountains). Cimmaron is also known as Hwy-24.
Proceed about 6 miles to the Manitou Ave exit. Turn right at the end of
the exit ramp and proceed west on Manitou Ave. After about 3/4 mile,
Memorial Park will be on your right. On race morning, parking is a
problem. Arrive early and/or carpool. You may end up parking 1/4 to
1/2 mile from the actual start area so allow plenty of time.Weather on
Pikes Peak7The weather on Pikes Peak can be very dangerous. Hail and
lightening storms can develop very fast and put runners and volunteers
in life-threatening danger. In the event of severe weather, cut-off
times will be moved up for the safety of all involved. Cut-off times for
the Ascent were moved up in 2004, 2005 and 2008.Triple Crown Series8The
Pikes Peak Marathon (ascent leg) may serve as the 3rd leg of the Triple
Crown of Running Series. The 1st leg is the Garden of the Gods 10 Mile
Run in June. The 2nd leg is the Summer Roundup Trail Run in July. The
Pikes Peak Ascent can also serve as the 3rd leg of the series. If a
runner finishes both the Pikes Peak Ascent and the Pikes Peak Marathon,
the 3rd leg of the series is the faster of the two ascent portions of
those races.Volunteer9Can't run in the event and you still want to be a
part of the action? Then get out there and volunteer and cheer on the
runners. Dedicated volunteers are always needed. Check out the web site
at www.pikespeakmarathon.org for a volunteer signup form. Volunteers on
Pikes Peak must be 14 or older.Awards10
