honoring and preserving the achievements of individuals and/or organizations
who have left an indelible mark on the Race to the Clouds – whether they are

Anyone who shares a passion for speed and competition, in addition to a great respect for Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain, and plays a role as an ambassador for this famous race is eligible for a Hall of Fame nomination. 

A new group of inductees is welcomed every other year.  The
next induction takes place in 2024.
