I Tried the Hardest Marathon in America… and This Happened

The Pikes Peak Marathon isn't just a race — it's a battle against the mountain, the elements, and yourself. In this video, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most grueling races in the world as I climb 7,800 feet to the summit of Pikes Peak and back down — 26.2 miles of pure grit, altitude, and relentless challenge. From the early morning start to the final finish. The 70th Pikes Peak Marathon was a joy to run! The volunteers and people surrounding the event are always an inspiration!
