The Broadmoor Cycle to the Summit

August 8, 2026
Pikes Peak — America's Mountain

The Broadmoor Cycle to the Summit is a premier road cycling challenge ascending Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain. Sanctioned by USA Cycling, this competitive hill climb features age-group categories, an e-bike category, and the Midway Challenge, giving cyclists of all skill levels the opportunity to take on this iconic 14er. While the event is professionally timed and features age-group competition, every rider can climb at their own pace — whether chasing a top finish in their category or crossing the Summit off their bucket list.

The Broadmoor Cycle to the Summit will also serve as the 2026 Hill Climb State Championship under the Colorado Bicycle Racing Association. In age-group categories (excluding the E-Bike and Midway Challenge), the top three Colorado resident finishers will be recognized immediately following each respective Broadmoor Cycle to the Summit age-group podium presentation.

2025 Rider Guide

The Broadmoor Cycle to the Summit will also serve as the 2026 Hill Climb State Championship under the Colorado Bicycle Racing Association. To be eligible for State Championship recognition, participants must be Colorado residents and must register with a Colorado address through Bike Reg.

In each age-group category (excluding the E-Bike and Midway Challenge), two podium recognitions will take place. First, The Broadmoor Cycle to the Summit age-group podium will be presented. Immediately following that ceremony, the top three Colorado resident finishers within that same category will be recognized as the Hill Climb State Championship podium.

This structure ensures that overall event results are honored first, followed directly by official State Championship recognition for qualifying Colorado residents.

2025 Rider Guide

This race will be held rain or shine, no refunds. The Race Director and Pikes Peak Highway staff has the authority to cancel the race due to weather or other concerns.  Please plan to have appropriate gear available to wear or packed in your gear bag.
