Steve Gachupin of Jemez, N.M., a six-time winner of the Pikes Peak Marathon said he taught himself the play the harmonica. He received a big applause from the runners at the starting line of the Pikes Peak Ascent on Aug. 18 in Manitou Springs. Gachupin's wins came in consecutive years, beginning in 1966. Race historians recognize him as the first to run the entire distance from Manitou Springs to the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak and back.
