FINISH: To view the finish of the Pikes Peak Ascent take the Pikes Peak Highway (a toll road) to the top of Pikes Peak. The race organization does not provide transportation for spectators from Manitou Springs to the summit. You must find your own way there. We ask that all spectators respect the police and follow their instructions regarding crowd control.

There is limited parking at the summit and spectators may need to take a shuttle from a parking lot lower down on the Pikes Peak Highway. Pets are not allowed on the shuttle. Spectators are not allowed to park at the summit.
