A year ago, Gary and Kenny Frith were the talk of the American Discovery Trail Marathon. Gary, a retired Air Force Academy graduate (1978), pushed Kenny, his son who suffers from Cerebral Palsy, in a large wheeled jogger for the entire 26 miles to raise funds for the Cerebral Palsy Association of Colorado Springs.
But Gary has bigger plans this year. He has enlisted the help of about 50 of his old AFA squadron mates. The plan is to push Kenny to a new ADT Marathon record on Sept. 6. Read it here.

Assault on the Peak Results
VIDEO: Leroy Popowski was the first to top Pikes Peak - on a conventional bike - in the inaugural Assault on the Peak bike ride. "The biggest challenge was up at the top there were a lot of wind gusts. It got pretty cold. You had to ride toward the center line just to make sure you didn't get blown off the road," Popowski said. He tagged the summit in 2 hours, 17 minutes, 28 seconds. There were 337 riders and a variety of bikes. Kyle Hale and Jim Turner of Boulder - riding "electric assist" bikes - were the first to summit in 1:46:59.

UPDATED: Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon age group and course records.

Runners make their way through the switchbacks - and ever-thining air - near the cirque.

Glenn Randall bolted away from the starting line of the 2010 Pikes Peak Ascent, cracking the golden rule of the race: Don’t go out too fast. His early pace Saturday morning was something better suited for a 5k, rather than a 13.2-mile run to the top of 14,115-foot Pikes Peak. The other top runners in the field couldn’t believe their eyes. “I thought it (Randall’s pace) was a joke, to be honest,” said Rickey Gates, who eventually finished third. “For him to do that, it was humbling for the entire field. I don’t think a single person who placed in the Top 10 expected him to be out
there … insane.” Yeah, crazy like a fox. His plan worked perfectly, and 2 hours, 9 minutes and 28 seconds later, the guy who started too fast was the Pikes Peak Ascent Champion. Read more here...

Palmer High School science teacher and bicycling advocate Tim Scott and the boys at the Ascent Cycling bike shop were dreaming big earlier this year when the idea of a 24-hour bike race in Colorado Springs emerged. After several phone calls, some deep thinking and the right meetings with the right people, the 24 Hours of Colorado Springs Mountain Bike Race is set to begin at noon on Saturday, Sept. 18, at the Air Force Academy. There will be a Race Village at the start/finish line at Falcon Stadium. Rider's will race on the famous Falcon Trail. Read more here.
