You have to be a statistics nerd to like this sort of thing, but we thought it would be interesting to compile a quick list of the Top 20 times in the Pikes Peak Marathon & Ascent. This list includes finish times recorded since 1976, when the race starting line was moved to Memoiral Park in Manitou Springs. We combed Pikes Peak champion Matt Carpenter's meticulous records, and we believe the list is correct. See a mistake? (Hey, it could happen.) E-mail tim.bergsten@gmail.com.
Top 20 fastest times since 1976 (when current starting line was established)
