So lets say all 3 guys raced the pikes peak marathon.. who would win? The races seems technical enough to give an edge to Killian but obviously Kipchoge and Mo Farah are better runners. Discus

Pikes is technical? Um, no. It's steep. And it's at elevation. But there's nothing "technical" there. With a little trail-specific training, Kipchoge would crush it.
Kipchoge wins and it isn't close.
Without specific mountain training, Mo and Eliud would lose. Now if they had a year to prepare for it, I would pick Eliud.
I remember these questions. They sound a lot like who would win Batman, Spiderman or Superman?
Farah would be horrible at technical courses cause he’s so bouncy.
The roads in in Kenya are basically trail runs. Kipchoge would dominate any ultra race if he prepared for.
Not sure why Mo is even part of this. Kipchoge would own Mo at any distance above 10K, trail or not.
Better Q would be Kipchoge vs Jornet in the Leadville Trail Marathon. Still going with Kipchoge by a lot.
Leadville 100? Still going with Kipchoge tbh.

PPA should be the next 2-hour project.
Kipchoge jogs it for an easy win.
Mo can’t even run on smooth grass. He is out. Kipchoge would at least need some specific prep to do well. Hard to say if he could descend well with prep, some roadies are just horrible at descending no matter what they do.
The Ugandans would have the best shot, as they have been sweeping the mountain championships of the last few years:

In 2013. 2014, 2017 and 2018, Uganda clean sweeped it on the male side.

This is like Mayweather vs McGregor; two great fighters in their own rights, McGregor goes to Mayweather's variation and loses. Flip side, Mayweather would be shredded in an octagon. I don't think anyone has the climbing like Killian, and the descent would hurt the roadies. But you put them on flat city streets, and Kipchoge runs away with it.

But a Batman has Kryptonite in his utility belt. I don’t know how he’ll handle Spider-Man though.
