The Pikes Peak APEX is a unique multi-day off-road challenge on the slopes of Pikes Peak, America’s Mountain.
Choose to race one day, two days, or all three days! We have a 3-day mountain bike stage race, one-day mountain bike options, and a brand NEW gravel race with two distance options. 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.
We offer a $12,500 pro purse in the mountain bike 3-day event split evenly between the Pro categories with equal prize lists for open pro and women pro. Amateur categories and gravel participants will be racing for prizes. This is a USA Cycling sanctioned event, so if you don’t have an annual USAC license, you must purchase a one-day license which covers you for all three days of the event.
