Nutrition

Staying at the top of your game for four days requires a little knowledge and some thoughtful planning. What you do - and don’t do - between stages of the Pikes Peak APEX will make a big difference on how you feel and fast you can go the following day.

Emily Werner, Registered Dietician, Pro Racer and past participant of The APEX is offering a Zoom presentation to exclusively cover Nutrition for The APEX. Sign up for Monday, August 1st or Monday, August 8th at a special rate of $40.

The Pikes Peak APEX presented by RockShox covers just over 125 miles over 4 stages, features more than 14,000 feet of climbing, and showcases four iconic Colorado Springs-area trail systems. Mountain bike stage races and multi-day adventures present unique nutrition and hydration challenges, so whether you are coming to Colorado for the Pikes Peak APEX or embarking on your own mountain bike trip, Chris Carmichael, CEO and Head Coach of CTS, has written a plan to help you fuel for success.

The APEX will present unique nutrition and hydration challenges. We have partnered with the pros at CTS to offer you guidance on how to optimize your performance in September.
