Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Awards 2024 Winners

Following the 102nd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb bought to you by Gran Turismo in hotter-than-expected conditions, competitors and race officials met on Monday morning to receive awards following the event.

The six-division race includes various other awards beyond division winners to promote the event and help celebrate sponsors.

One award, the Alcon “No Holding back Award” was presented to a driver who has demonstrated outstanding perseverance and determination in their race to the 14,115-foot summit.
