2024 PPIHC ENTRY DEADLINE JANUARY 11

“We are excited not only to see the number of entries, but the quality of the entries this year,” shared Melissa Eickhoff, PPIHC Executive Director. “For the past two years we’ve had a greater number of applications than the number we can accept, speaking to the popularity of this international event. As we look forward to seeing history made once again on Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain, we are eagerly anticipating the stories to be told and all the moments we’ll celebrate this legendary race.”

First staged in 1916, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is the second oldest race in America. The invitation-only event, often referred to as The Race to the Clouds is held annually on the last Sunday of June on Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain, near Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. The famous 12.42-mile (20 km) course consists of 156 turns, boasts an elevation gain of 4,725 feet (1,440 m), and reaches a finish line at 14,115 feet (4,302 m) above sea level. The PPIHC’s six race divisions feature a wide variety of vehicles – from production-based Time Attack challengers to purpose-built Open Wheel racers and state-of-the-art Unlimited vehicles. The current race record was set in 2018 by Romain Dumas and Volkswagen in the all-electric I.D. R Pikes Peak – 07:57.148.
