Barr Trail Mountain Race July 15, 2018
The Barr Trail Mountain Race is this Sunday, July 15th, 2018. The Barr Trail Mountain Race is one of the Front Range’s historic summer mountain running events. The race starts in front of the Pikes Peak Cog Railway depot at 7 AM. Racers go up to Barr Camp and then come back down to finish at the Barr Trail parking lot.
Runners will be going up and down Barr Trail until around 10:30 AM. The Manitou Incline and Barr Trail will be open but it would be best to avoid the area until the race is over. If you really want to do the Incline during the race, please respect the runners and don’t slow them down since they’re racing.

The 14th annual Barr Trail Mountain Race is Sunday, July 19, 2015. The 12.6-mile course begins in Manitou Springs, Colorado, and ascends Pikes Peak’s iconic Barr Trail to Barr Camp before turning, descending and finishing back in town.
Although the course doesn’t include the Manitou Incline, the area will be more congested and runners will be on Barr Trail. The race starts at 7 AM and most runners should be back down by 10:30 AM. It is best that you avoid being on Barr Trail between those times. If for some reason you feel it’s necessary to do the Incline and head back down Barr Trail during those times, please be courteous and give the runners right of way whether they’re going up or going down.
