The Complete Guide to Group Transportation for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Every June, tens of thousands of motorsport fans converge on Colorado Springs for the most logistically unusual race weekend in North America. The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb — 104 years old and still unlike anything else on the calendar — sends competitors up a 12.42-mile highway that climbs from 9,390 feet to the 14,115-foot summit through 156 turns, and it asks spectators to do something no other major race event requires: drive themselves, in their own personal vehicles, up a one-lane mountain road in the pitch dark before 5:30 in the morning. Or, if they want someone else to handle it, to board a dedicated fan bus from a staging area in Colorado Springs.

Either way, the transportation question is genuinely complicated — and for a group of more than a handful of people, it's where most of the planning stress lives.

This guide covers all of it, plainly and in order. We'll walk through what Race Week actually looks like day by day, explain exactly why a charter bus cannot drive your group up the mountain (and what you do instead), map out the fan bus options, and show you where a Colorado Springs party bus or charter bus rental fits into the picture — because for the parts of Race Week that happen in the city, a bus is the single best way to move a group. The advice comes from coordinating exactly these kinds of group trips in the Pikes Peak region regularly, not from a brochure.

What Is the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb?

The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, presented by Gran Turismo, is the second-oldest motorsport event in the United States — first held in 1916, making the 2026 race its 104th running. Known as "The Race to the Clouds," it covers 12.42 miles of Pikes Peak Highway from the Start Line at 9,390 feet to the summit at 14,115 feet, threading through 156 turns up America's Mountain. Cars, motorcycles, quads, and electric vehicles all compete in separate divisions, with elapsed times from the Start Line to the summit determining the winner.

What makes it genuinely different from every other major race weekend is the venue itself. There is no permanent grandstand, no paved infield, no designated spectator zone along a flat oval. Seven designated viewing areas are scattered across the mountain at different elevations, each with its own ticket, its own arrival window, and its own set of rules about what kinds of vehicles can even access the road.

Planning a group trip here is not like planning a trip to a stadium. It requires understanding the mountain's logistics before you book a single seat.

The Rule Every Group Organizer Must Know

Here is the detail that catches first-timers completely off guard, and it changes everything about how you plan group transportation for the Hill Climb. According to the official PPIHC FAQ:

This is not a parking inconvenience or a lot-assignment issue. The road physically cannot accommodate oversized vehicles on the day of the race, and the organizers prohibit them entirely. So if you're planning to rent a Colorado Springs charter bus and have it drop your group at Glen Cove or Devil's Playground the morning of the race, that plan will not work.

Your group either drives up in personal vehicles of six seats or fewer, or boards one of the official PPIHC fan buses from staging areas in Colorado Springs. Those are the two options on race day.

This is not a reason to skip renting a bus for your group. It is a reason to plan the full Race Week correctly — because a charter bus is exactly the right tool for every other part of the experience, and those parts add up to most of what makes a Hill Climb trip memorable.

Race Week, Day by Day: What's Happening and When

The Hill Climb is not a one-day event. Race Week runs June 15 through June 21, and for a group that wants the full experience, there are genuinely worthwhile events every day before the race itself. A Colorado Springs charter bus rental is the right move for the in-city events — the 2026 schedule, per the official race week page:

Monday, June 15 — Tech Inspection at Broadmoor World Arena

Tech Inspection runs 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM at Broadmoor World Arena (3185 Venetucci Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906) and is free and open to the public. Every car entered in the race rolls through a formal technical and safety inspection, which means your group gets to see the actual race vehicles up close — everything from factory-built electric cars to hand-built prototype hillclimbers — before a single wheel turns on the mountain. For motorsport fans, this is a legitimate day-one activity, and for a group, it is exactly the kind of situation where a minibus makes more sense than three separate Ubers trying to find parking off I-25 on a Monday morning.

Tuesday–Friday, June 16–19 — Practice and Qualifying on the Mountain

The four days before the race are practice and qualifying sessions, with the mountain divided into Lower, Middle, and Upper sections. These sessions run in the early morning hours before the highway opens to regular tourist traffic. Spectators are permitted to watch practice and qualifying from most of the same areas used on race day — meaning if your group wants multiple days on the mountain, these sessions give you that, often with smaller crowds than race day and at lower ticket prices.

Confirm current practice-day ticket availability at the official tickets page.

Friday, June 19 — Fan Fest, Downtown Colorado Springs

Fan Fest, presented by Toyo Tires, is the official public kickoff to race weekend — and it is enormous. More than 35,000 fans are expected to fill 12 blocks of Tejon Street from Platte Avenue to Vermijo Avenue, with over 60 competitors lining the streets alongside their race vehicles and 75 vendor and sponsor displays. The autograph session for the HELLA Fast 15 (the top 15 qualifiers) runs 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and a Freestyle Motocross show closes out the evening at 8:15 PM.

The whole event runs 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM and is free to attend.

Fan Fest is the single event where group transportation in Colorado Springs makes the most obvious sense. Thirty-five thousand people converging on 12 downtown blocks on a Friday evening means every parking garage within walking distance of Tejon Street fills up well before the autograph session starts, surface lots charge event pricing, and anyone trying to use a rideshare afterward faces surge pricing and long wait times. One charter bus drops your group right at the edge of the event and picks everyone up at a pre-agreed corner when it's over — no scrambling, no waiting, no one getting separated while hunting for a car in a downtown garage.

Call 303-225-4640 to book your Fan Fest shuttle.

Sunday, June 21 — Race Day

The green flag drops at 7:30 AM. Per the PPIHC FAQ, spectators are allowed in line at the Gateway of Pikes Peak – America's Mountain starting at 2:00 AM on race day, with vehicles staged in the Santa's Workshop parking lot until the gates release traffic uphill at 2:30 AM. No vehicles will be allowed past the Start Line after 5:30 AM — and expect to remain on the mountain until approximately 4:00 PM or later.

Race day tickets are sold by viewing area, and tickets are not sold on race day. Prices increase significantly after June 1, so booking early matters both for availability and cost.

The Seven Viewing Areas: What to Know About Each

There is no one "right" spectator area for the Hill Climb — each spot on the mountain offers a fundamentally different experience, and the right choice depends on your group's priorities. Here is what each area actually offers, with the operational details that matter for planning:

A few specifics worth noting: once you pass a spectator area going uphill on race day, you cannot turn back — traffic on the mountain moves in one direction. Your group needs to decide on a viewing area before the car reaches the road and commit to it. If anyone in your group is sensitive to altitude, 9,390 feet at the Start Line is meaningfully different from 12,780 feet at Devil's Playground.

And for the upper areas especially, the road above the treeline can be genuinely cold at 2 or 3 in the morning even in late June — layering is not optional. Plan it upfront; the mountain does not offer course corrections.

For the full area-by-area breakdown including camping rules and exact recommended arrival times, the official spectator guides page at ppihc.org publishes a separate downloadable guide for each viewing area.

Fan Buses: Your Group Transportation on Race Day

The official PPIHC fan buses are the only way to get a large group to the mountain on race day without each person driving their own personal vehicle. The organizers run three separate fan bus routes from Colorado Springs, and these are the only coaches permitted on Pikes Peak Highway on race day:

• Glen Cove Fan Bus — for groups targeting the Glen Cove viewing area at approximately 11,400 feet
• Devil's Playground Fan Bus (Marcroft staging location) — for the highest spectator point at 12,780 feet
• Devil's Playground Fan Bus (Norris Penrose staging location) — alternate pickup for Devil's Playground, staging from the Norris Penrose Event Center area of Colorado Springs

Fan bus tickets are more expensive than personal-vehicle tickets and include admission to the viewing area in the price — in recent years running approximately $190–$245 per person. They accommodate coolers and camp chairs. They also sell out.

In 2025, fan bus tickets were among the last remaining options as race day approached, and they were gone before the race. For a group trip to the Hill Climb, fan bus seats should be treated exactly like airline seats for a popular holiday weekend: book them the moment they go on sale, not after you've confirmed your hotel. Current availability and pricing lives at the official PPIHC tickets page.

The key planning insight: fan buses depart from staging locations in Colorado Springs — not from hotels, not from a central point on the highway. Your group still needs to get from wherever you're staying to the fan bus pickup location, assembled and on time, in the early morning hours. That is exactly where a Colorado Springs charter bus rental or minibus rental fits.

One bus picks up your whole group at the hotel, delivers everyone to the Norris Penrose staging area or the Marcroft location before the fan buses load, and ensures nobody gets separated on the way there. The mountain leg is handled by the official fan buses; the city leg is handled by your private charter.

Where a Charter Bus Fits Into Your Hill Climb Trip

The vehicle restriction on race day is real, and it applies specifically to the highway above the Gateway. Everything else about a Hill Climb group trip — hotel pickups and drop-offs, Fan Fest downtown, Tech Inspection at Broadmoor World Arena, multi-day group coordination across Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs — is exactly the kind of logistics a Colorado Springs charter bus rental handles cleanly. Here is the practical breakdown:

Getting the Group to the Fan Bus Staging Area

Fan buses for Devil's Playground depart from the Norris Penrose Event Center area (1045 Lower Lake Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906) and a separate Marcroft staging location. Loading starts well before sunrise on race day — the mountain gates open at 2:30 AM and no personal vehicles get past the Start Line after 5:30 AM, which means fan buses are rolling very early. Coordinating a group of 15, 20, or 30 people across multiple hotel rooms into cars and rideshares at 1:30 or 2:00 AM is genuinely painful.

One private minibus or charter bus picks up the whole group at the hotel, runs them to the staging area together, and has everyone in line before the fan buses pull out. No one gets left at a hotel lobby because their Uber was 12 minutes away. Call 303-225-4640 to sort out the early-morning run.

Fan Fest Shuttles on Friday Evening

Fan Fest on Tejon Street draws over 35,000 people to 12 downtown blocks from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Parking anywhere near the event corridor fills by mid-afternoon, and rideshare pickup after 9:00 PM on a Friday night in downtown Colorado Springs during the largest motorsport event of the year is going to come with surge pricing and a wait. A Colorado Springs party bus rental waiting to pick up your group at a pre-arranged corner when the festivities wrap up is a dramatically better plan — and for groups who want the full Fan Fest experience including the autograph session and the motocross show, having a party bus with a sound system and climate control waiting beats standing on a corner refreshing an app.

Tech Inspection Shuttle to Broadmoor World Arena

Broadmoor World Arena sits at 3185 Venetucci Blvd, well south of downtown Colorado Springs — not a walkable distance from most hotels. Getting a group of motorsport enthusiasts to a free public event where they can see the actual race cars up close is a great way to start Race Week. A minibus handles the hotel-to-venue run cleanly, with no parking coordination needed at the arena on a busy inspection day.

Multi-Day Group Coordination

Race Week is six days from Tech Inspection through race day. Groups visiting from out of state — and plenty do, with fans traveling from across the country and internationally — often plan a full Colorado Springs itinerary around the race. Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, the Broadmoor, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway (which operates separately from the race and runs on normal days during the week) — all of these are natural additions to a Hill Climb trip, and all of them are easier with one vehicle and one plan instead of a rental-car caravan trying to figure out parking at each stop.

A 15- to 35-passenger minibus keeps the group together and on schedule across every day of the trip. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know before your departure date.

What It Costs and How to Think About the Budget

Colorado Springs party bus and charter bus pricing is shaped by your group size and vehicle, the total hours needed, your specific itinerary, and the date. For a Race Week trip, the math usually works like this:

• Fan bus tickets are separate, per-person, purchased through the official PPIHC ticketing site — currently around $190–$245/person including admission. These are not part of your charter quote.
• A minibus or charter bus covers your ground transportation in Colorado Springs: hotel pickups, fan bus staging area runs, Fan Fest, Tech Inspection, and any other city stops on your itinerary.

For real ranges: 15- to 35-passenger minibuses run approximately $150–$300/hour, and full-size 40- to 56-passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo or Sprinter van works well for smaller groups and executive runs. The per-person math on a minibus split across 20 people quickly beats what those 20 people would spend on five separate Ubers every time they need to move — and for an early-morning run to the fan bus staging area, individual rideshares at 1:30 AM on a major event weekend are not a reliable option anyway.

Call 303-225-4640 for an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds — you'll know the exact price before you ever book.

Race Day Logistics for Personal Vehicle Groups

If your group is small enough to fit in personal vehicles of six seats or fewer, here is the operational picture for race day — because the mountain has a specific rhythm and first-timers consistently underestimate how early everything happens.

Spectators may get in line at the Gateway of Pikes Peak – America's Mountain starting at 2:00 AM on race day, with vehicles staged in the Santa's Workshop parking lot until released to go uphill at 2:30 AM. No spectator vehicles are allowed past the Start Line after 5:30 AM. Racing begins at 7:30 AM.

Spectators are asked to plan to remain on the mountain until approximately 4:00 PM or later. That is a roughly 14-hour day at altitude — plan accordingly.

Parking at all seven designated areas is free and first-come, first-served with no advance reservations. The designated areas are: Below the Start Line, 9 Mile, Halfway Picnic Grounds, Ski Area, Glen Cove, Cove Creek, and Devil's Playground. No spectator vehicles may park anywhere along the course except these areas — and once you pass an area heading uphill, there is no returning to it.

The mountain is one-way during the race. Plan your viewing area choice before you reach the Gateway.

Trail 753 from Devil's Playground to the summit closes entirely at 12:01 AM on race day for public safety, with the closure in effect until 6:00 PM. This is a hiking trail closure, not a road closure — but it matters for any group planning to hike to the summit area.

Buying Tickets: The Key Deadlines

Race day tickets are sold by viewing area, and the pricing structure has a clear deadline baked in. From the official ticketing rules: ticket prices increase after June 1. Tickets are not sold on race day.

Tickets for the 2026 race are expected to sell out before the event. For a group, this creates a specific urgency window: secure tickets for every member of the group before June 1 to lock in the lower pricing tier, and secure them well before June 1 if you have any concerns about availability.

Ticket pricing also varies by the total number of attendees in a single vehicle. Carpool Pack options offer per-person savings for groups of 2–8 arriving together in one vehicle — which is another reason to coordinate your group's vehicle assignments before you buy. Children under 10 attend free; anyone 10 or older needs a paid ticket.

No refunds are issued.

For fan buses specifically: these are the fastest-selling option and represent a limited number of seats on a limited number of coaches. If fan buses are part of your group's race day plan, treat them as your most time-sensitive booking — before the hotel, before the flights, before anything else. Current availability and pricing at the official PPIHC tickets and camping permits page.

Planning a Full Race Week Group Itinerary

The Hill Climb is a genuinely great anchor event for a multi-day Colorado Springs group trip, and the city has enough to fill the days around race week comfortably. A rough framework most groups find useful:

• Monday — Arrive in Colorado Springs. Hotel block pickup from Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (COS) or Denver International (DEN, about 75 miles north on I-25). Tech Inspection at Broadmoor World Arena in the afternoon — free, great for motorsport fans.
• Tuesday–Thursday — Practice and qualifying on the mountain (check the spectator guides for practice-day access rules). Day trips to Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, or the Broadmoor in between sessions.
• Friday — Morning at leisure or one final practice session. Fan Fest on Tejon Street in downtown Colorado Springs, 5:00–9:00 PM. Charter bus shuttle handles the round-trip from the hotel.
• Saturday — Glen Cove campers enter at 1:00 PM; other groups make final preparations, confirm fan bus staging logistics, lay out cold-weather gear for the overnight.
• Sunday — Race day. Pre-arranged group shuttle to fan bus staging area by 1:30 AM. Fan buses to the mountain. Green flag at 7:30 AM. Expect to be back in Colorado Springs by late afternoon.

For groups flying in from out of state, the most common error is booking accommodations too late. The Broadmoor, the Cliff House at Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs (226 Canon Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829), and the larger hotels along I-25 all fill well before race week — some groups book a full year out. If your group is still looking for a hotel block for 2026, move on that first, then sort the transportation.

If you need a group shuttle from Denver International Airport to Colorado Springs for your whole crew, that is a straight shot down I-25 that a full-size charter bus handles cleanly. Call 303-225-4640 and we will sort out the airport-to-hotel run along with everything else.

What to Bring and What to Expect on the Mountain

Race day at altitude is genuinely different from a stadium event, and for first-time visitors especially, a few specifics save real grief:

• Cold-weather layers are non-negotiable. June in Colorado Springs can be 80 degrees in the city. At 12,780 feet at Devil's Playground at 3:00 AM, it is a different situation entirely. Bring a warm jacket, hat, and gloves regardless of the forecast. Temperatures on the upper mountain routinely drop into the 30s before dawn in late June.
• Sun protection for the afternoon. If the race finishes and you're still on the mountain in the early afternoon, high-altitude UV is significantly stronger than at sea level. Sunscreen and sunglasses matter more here than at most outdoor events.
• Coolers and camp chairs are allowed. The fan buses explicitly accommodate both. For personal-vehicle groups, packing food and drinks for a 14-hour day makes obvious sense since concessions on the mountain are limited.
• There is no downhill traffic on race day. Once you're on the mountain, you are there until the organizers release traffic after the race. Plan the day accordingly and make sure your group is comfortable with that commitment.
• Cell coverage on the upper mountain is limited. Establish your group's reunion plan before anyone splits up — "meet at the fan bus staging area at the fan bus" is a cleaner plan than trying to coordinate by text at 12,000 feet.
• Weather can change rapidly at elevation. The race has been run in everything from brilliant sunshine to snow, and the Colorado mountain weather pattern in June includes afternoon thunderstorm potential. The race organizers will delay for weather; keep an eye on official PPIHC communications during the event.

Getting to Colorado Springs for Race Week

Most out-of-town groups fly into one of two airports: Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (COS), which offers direct service from several hubs and sits about 20 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, or Denver International Airport (DEN), about 75 miles north on I-25. The I-25 run from DEN to Colorado Springs takes roughly 75–90 minutes in normal traffic — and in the days immediately surrounding Race Week, with significant motorsport fan traffic on that corridor, building in extra buffer is wise.

For groups landing at Denver International and heading to Colorado Springs for Race Week, a single charter bus from DEN to your Colorado Springs hotel keeps everyone together and gets the trip started right — nobody is splitting off in rental cars, nobody is navigating an unfamiliar city for the first time at night after a flight. The bus delivers the whole group to the hotel and the trip can actually begin. That is the Colorado Springs airport shuttle run we handle regularly, and it is a clean one.

Call 303-225-4640 to get it on the calendar.

What Size Vehicle Fits Your Group?

The right vehicle depends on your headcount and how many days you need it. Here is how the fleet breaks down for a Race Week trip:

For most Hill Climb groups, the 15- to 35-passenger minibus hits the right balance — enough room for a solid-size fan group with gear, climate-controlled for the early morning staging-area run, and maneuverable enough for downtown Colorado Springs on Fan Fest evening. For large corporate or hospitality groups flying into Denver for the full race experience, a 56-passenger charter bus makes the DEN-to-Colorado Springs run and the in-city logistics all in one vehicle. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — let us know your needs when you book.

Other Things to Do in Colorado Springs During Race Week

Race Week runs six full days, and Colorado Springs offers genuinely excellent activities for every day that isn't Race Day. A few group-trip favorites worth building into the itinerary — all accessible by bus from downtown hotels:

• Garden of the Gods (1805 N 30th St, Colorado Springs, CO 80904) — the signature free park in Colorado Springs, with dramatic red sandstone formations against a 14,115-foot backdrop. Bus groups stage in the main parking lot off Garden of the Gods Rd; the visitor center and main loop are a short walk from there.
• Pikes Peak Cog Railway (515 Ruxton Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829) — the railway runs on its normal schedule during Race Week (except race day itself), departing from Manitou Springs. Booking in advance is required; this is a popular addition for groups who want the summit experience in comfort without driving the highway.
• Manitou Springs — the town directly at the base of Pikes Peak, accessible via US-24 West from Colorado Springs. Manitou Avenue is lined with restaurants, galleries, and the famous Manitou Springs mineral fountains. The Cliff House at Pikes Peak is the landmark property here, and the town fills significantly during Race Week.
• Broadmoor Resort and Seven Falls — the Broadmoor (1 Lake Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80906) and its surrounding complex anchor the south end of Colorado Springs. Seven Falls is a short drive from the resort and accessible with complimentary shuttle from the Norris Penrose parking area.
• US Air Force Academy Visitor Center (2304 Cadet Drive North, USAF Academy, CO 80840) — north of downtown, the Academy Chapel and grounds are open to visitors and make a half-day addition for groups with military connections or general interest.

A minibus covering these stops over three or four days before the race makes for a genuinely full trip — and one that doesn't require anyone in the group to navigate unfamiliar mountain roads, find parking at a packed attraction, or coordinate timing across multiple rental cars. That is the kind of multi-day itinerary we build regularly. Tell us your stops and we'll build the route.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a charter bus or party bus drive up Pikes Peak Highway on race day?

No. Per the official PPIHC rules, no motor homes, 5th wheels, trailers, minibuses, or vehicles with more than 6 seats are permitted on Pikes Peak Highway during the Hill Climb. A charter bus can transport your group to the fan bus staging area in Colorado Springs before race day; the mountain leg on race day must be in personal vehicles of six seats or fewer, or via the official PPIHC fan buses.

What are the fan buses, and how do I book them?

The official PPIHC fan buses are the only large-vehicle option for getting to the mountain on race day. There are three routes: Glen Cove, Devil's Playground (Marcroft staging location), and Devil's Playground (Norris Penrose staging location). Fan bus tickets include admission to the viewing area and typically run $190–$245 per person in recent years.

They sell out before race day. Book through the official PPIHC tickets page as early as possible.

When do race day tickets need to be purchased?

Tickets are not sold on race day. Prices increase after June 1, and tickets are expected to sell out before the race. For a group, secure every seat before June 1 to lock in lower pricing, and book fan bus tickets as early as they become available — those are the most limited tickets in the system.

What time does Race Day actually start, and how early should we arrive?

The green flag drops at 7:30 AM. However, spectators may get in line starting at 2:00 AM, with vehicles staged in the Santa's Workshop parking lot until 2:30 AM when the gates open for uphill traffic. No vehicles are permitted past the Start Line after 5:30 AM.

For fan bus groups, check your specific fan bus departure schedule — loading starts well before dawn. Plan to be on the mountain until approximately 4:00 PM.

How cold does it get on the mountain at night during the race?

Very cold. June in Colorado Springs can be pleasant at 6,035 feet elevation downtown, but Devil's Playground sits at 12,780 feet, and temperatures on the upper mountain routinely drop into the 30s before dawn in late June. Bring a heavy jacket, hat, and gloves regardless of the Colorado Springs forecast.

Can I rent a bus from Denver to Colorado Springs for Race Week?

Absolutely. Denver International Airport to Colorado Springs is about 75 miles down I-25 — a clean, direct run for a full-size charter bus. This is one of the most practical ways to bring a large out-of-town group to Race Week: one bus picks everyone up at baggage claim and delivers the whole group to the hotel in Colorado Springs.

Call 303-225-4640 for an all-inclusive quote.

Where is Fan Fest, and how does group transportation work?

Fan Fest takes place on Tejon Street from Platte Avenue to Vermijo Avenue in downtown Colorado Springs, running 5:00–9:00 PM on Friday, June 19. Over 35,000 people attend and downtown parking is extremely limited. A Colorado Springs party bus rental or minibus is the practical choice — drop-off near the Tejon Street corridor, pickup at a pre-arranged spot at 9:00 PM.

Call 303-225-4640 to book the Fan Fest shuttle.

What if it rains or the race is delayed?

The Hill Climb can be delayed for weather, and Colorado mountain weather in late June includes real thunderstorm potential. Race organizers communicate via the official PPIHC website and channels. The race has been postponed mid-run in past years when lightning conditions made the upper mountain unsafe.

If your bus is on standby for a post-race pickup, confirm your pickup window with our team in advance and we'll adjust as conditions evolve.

How much does a Colorado Springs party bus rental cost for Race Week?

Pricing depends on your vehicle size, total hours, itinerary, and the specific days you need coverage. Minibuses run approximately $150–$300/hour; full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day for longer itineraries. For a multi-day Race Week package covering airport pickups, Tech Inspection, Fan Fest, and fan bus staging runs, call 303-225-4640 for an all-inclusive quote built around your specific group and itinerary.

You'll have the exact number before you ever book.

Book Your Race Week Transportation

The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is one of the great motorsport events in the world — and for a group, the biggest variable between a smooth Race Week and a chaotic one is how the transportation is organized. The mountain vehicle restrictions, the 2:30 AM gate openings, the Fan Fest crowds on Tejon Street, the Denver-to-Colorado Springs airport run: every one of these is cleaner with one bus and one plan than with a caravan of cars and a group text thread. Colorado Springs Party Bus coordinates these exact Race Week group trips regularly. Call 303-225-4640 for an all-inclusive quote, and let's get your group to the Race to the Clouds.
