The photo showed Pieper standing at the top of the summit in her signature white ensemble, which was modeled after her favorite movie star, Marilyn Monroe. One member of the group commented that they should organize a run where all of the ladies wear the same classic look. The race organizers also embraced the idea, but due to park permit restrictions, Pino had to limit the number of participants to 30 women. Event partnerRunners Grace Lineberg, Nichole Burrows, and Linda Crossmock Riley climb the mountain together.Some of the runners summited Pikes Peak multiple times prior to the event, but others were climbing the mountain for the first time. The range of ability and experience reminded Pino of Pieper’s impact.
“It feels relatable in a sense that Arlene didn’t know she was this glass ceiling breaker. She just wanted to go run a mountain in a race,” Pino said. “She brought her 9-year-old daughter along, and she didn’t think twice about it.”
