The Pikes Peak Marathon and Ascent are moving to September in 2022. For the first time in its 67-year history, the iconic Colorado races will be held after Labor Day. The new dates are on September 17 and 18, 2022. Organizers say there are several reasons for the change from August.

The USATF Colorado Cross Country Championships for open, masters, and youth are Saturday, November 6 in Boulder. The championships are being hosted by the Colleen De Reuck Classic.
