The Montezuma's Revenge was a 24-hour ultra-endurance mountain bike wilderness race held in Colorado each August from 1986 until 2006. Competitors were required to climb a 14,272-foot (4,350 m) mountain-Gray’s Peak. The course varied from year to year but was always extremely demanding. The winner was determined by who covers the most distance in the 24-hour period. Current course records:

  • Female Jari Kirkland in 2004 - 122.33 miles (196.87 km) - 25,926 feet (7,902 m) climbed
  • Male Josh Tostado in 2005 - 156 miles (251 km) covered - 32,350 feet (9,860 m) climbed
