Marathons in August 2027

August marathons are about altitude and adventure more than PRs. The Pikes Peak Marathon climbs roughly 7,800 feet from Manitou Springs to the 14,115-foot summit and back, and other mountain and coastal races fill out the month. It's also a good time for a tune-up before fall goal races.
