Pikes Peak Laps

The Barr trail goes from Maniotu Springs to the summit of Pike’s Peak in 13 miles and 7500 feet of vertical. Round-trip it is a marathon. We planned to do a single round-trip but others planned to do 4 laps and 100 miles. Because it was a very hot day, nobody succeeded in reaching 100 miles of Pike’s Peak laps.
