2023 Pikes Peak Int’l Hill Climb Set For June 25

Officials with the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) have revealed the 101st Running of the Race to the Clouds will take place on Sunday, June 25, 2023. Drivers, teams, and fans will converge on “America’s Mountain” for the 12.42-mile course with 156 turns on the 14,115’ summit.

“This race is an event like no other,” said PPIHC Board Chairman Fred Veitch. “Many drivers list the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb at the top of their bucket list and are eager to accept the challenge. Others have competed for more than 20 years and keep coming back. We are really excited to see what the next century of hill climb racing on Pikes Peak will look like as we prepare for the 101st Running next summer.”

The current course record is 7 minutes, 57.148 seconds, and was set in 2018 by French racer Romain Dumas in a purpose-built, all-electric 2018 Volkswagen I.D. R.
