Pikes Peak International Hill Climb: Postponed
Wildfires Cause 2012 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb to be Postponed
As you are likely aware, there have been raging wildfires plaguing the
Colorado Springs area over the past five days. Despite the best attempts
to contain these fires, the 90th running of the Pikes Peak
International Hill Climb has been postponed due to concerns for
resources and safety. Race organizers have informed us that they are
optimistic about re-scheduling the race for later this summer and are
working diligently to secure the new date.
However, the focus in Colorado Springs is on the safety of its
residents. To date, over 32,000 people have been evacuated from their
homes and the fires continue to spread. Our thoughts are with all those
affected and the firefighters who are working tirelessly to contain the
blazes.
We will keep you updated as we receive more information from the PPIHC
race organizers. As a result, all planned Ducati activities surrounding
the race have been postponed until further notice. Check in here for the
latest news on Colorado Springs and plans surrounding the 90th running
of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
Ducati knows that race organizers and city officials are committed to
both the race and all of the fans who plan to attend. When the dates for
the 90th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb are announced, it will be
more important than ever that we come together and support the Race to
the Clouds. We hope you’ll still be able to join us as we show the
residents of Colorado Springs our support and that all roads truly do
lead to Pikes Peak.
