Fan Fest is a larger-than-life party in the streets, and everyone is invited. Because of the remote nature of the race, the Pikes Peak Fan Fest's location in Colorado Springs itself makes it a great way for motorsports enthusiasts of all ages to get up close and personal with the race vehicles, meet the drivers, gather autographs, watch freestyle motocross demos, and of course chow on the best food truck gourmet the Rocky Mountains has to offer.
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is not only the second oldest motorsport event in the country, but also an important part of Colorado history and a significant driver of tourism to Colorado Springs. “This race was built and made for the community, to promote tourism into the area. That's why Spencer Penrose put this whole thing together way back in 1916.” explains Melissa Eckhoff, CEO of the Hill Climb.Lightning.
