Sports Strategies announces a successful close to the 2021 Pikes Peak APEX presented by RockShox following 4 days, 120 miles of dirt and over 15,000 feet of climbing. Alexis Skarda and Keegan Swenson, both from Santa Cruz/SRAM, beat strong fields to win the overall general classification at The APEX. The men’s field featured a who’s-who of American mountain bike racing plus EF Education-Nippo riders Lachlan Morton and Alex Howes, while the women’s field ended up being a tight three-way battle between three well-known domestic pros.

March is National Athletic Training Month and a perfect time for us to catch up with Craig Elder, PhD, ATC, CSCS, Athletic Training Manager for Centura Sports Medicine. These healthcare professionals are on course to triage and manage care for you. With spotters at high consequence locations, radio communications and drones, you are never out of sight from someone who can help for long.

Race organizers worked closely with the El Paso County Public Health Department and Centura Health/Penrose-St. Francis medical staff to make modifications aligned with the state's current public health order.
