Robby Young of the Boulder Running Company/Adidas team won for the third time in three starts in the Pikes Peak Road Runners' Fall Series on Sunday at Ute Valley Park, while Ilea Eskildsen captured the win in the women's race.
About 420 runners took on another challenging course designed by Larry Miller.  The race route - somewhere between 5.5 miles and 6 miles in length - included several tough climbs, including a steep ascent of about 200 meters near the end of the race where runners cursed Miller, the series founder who takes pride in creating lung-bursting courses.

Young finished in 38 minutes, 13 seconds, followed closely by Simon Gutierrez in 38:41. Eskildsen finished in 47:41, with Connilee Walter giving chase in 48:07.
Eskildsen, 26, of Colorado Springs, may have had an advantage. She runs in Ute Valley often and knows all about its hilly terrain.
"I live right across the street from this park, so this is kind of my home course," she said.
The women's race was extremely close with all of the series leaders battling at the front of the pack. Walter's finish moved her into a tie for second in the overall series with 13-year-old wunderkind Kayli Tabares, who placed third on Sunday and proved again that she can run with the area's fastest women. After three races, they each have a cumulative time of 1:54:34.
Series leader Clare Bar had all the symptoms of a cold, but managed to retain her series lead (1:53:11) with a fourth-place finish.
Eskildsen missed the first Fall Series Race and won't figure into the final standings, but she is looking forward the series finale on Nov. 11 in Palmer Park.
Young, 27, of Colorado Springs, has a 2 minute lead over Justin Ricks in the series. A proven road runner with plenty of speed, he is running the Fall Series for the first time. He is hoping for an easier course.
"The next race can't be any harder than this one, can it?" he asked.
Of course Young should feel confident in Palmer Park. He won the tough 9-mile Hellacious Trail Challenge there in 2011.
