WEATHER and PLANNING

The weather on Pikes Peak is unpredictable.  You may encounter any weather condition at any time.  Conditions range from bright sunshine to fog, freezing rain and snow.  You must be aware of the conditions, which may exist so that you can be prepared.  Dress in layers or carry extra clothing with you while you are on the mountain.

You will be working at high altitudes.  As the altitude increases, the density of the atmosphere decreases as does the ability of the atmosphere to filter the harmful rays of the sun.  You should consider protecting yourself from the effects of direct sunlight by using sunscreen.  It is a good idea to wear sunglasses.  You may be working in sunlight for 8 to 10 hours.  Keep in mind that even on a cloudy day glare from the sun can still be a problem.

ALTITUDE SICKNESS

Remember the race starts at 9,300 ft. and finishes at 14,110 ft. For those enthusiastic race fans that choose to venture above timberline beware. Not only are you susceptible to the ever-changing weather conditions, as was experienced in 2004, but also to the effects of high altitude sickness. Signs of altitude sickness include nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fainting. To reduce the severity of the illness medical experts recommend you drink plenty of water, refrain from caffeine and or alcohol. If you are visiting the area and are not used to altitude for long periods of time (12-14 hours) we recommend that you enjoy the race from a lower location on the course. Enjoy this years 86 running of the Race to the Clouds don’t let mother nature or altitude ruin your race day experience.
