Brief Description

MARATHON AND HALF MARATHON HAVE BEEN CAPPED. The Colorado Marathon is a point to point course that runs down the Poudre River Canyon in the Colorado Rockies right in Fort Collins' backyard. The course is the most scenic in America and is a fast course that is perfect for a Boston qualifier. All Registrants will receive a Brooks technical running shirt, a custom finisher print and a goody bag. Marathoners and half marathoners will also receive a custom finisher medallion.

 

MARATHON AND HALF MARATHON ARE FULL

Both the Marathon and Half have filled the cap. No wait list available or transfers to others. No exceptions. Please check us out for 2010. Thanks and be healthy.

 

INFORMATION -Videos and Photos of course

Please see website at www.thecoloradomarathon.com for more information and to view videos and photos of our amazing course and running experience.

 

Most Scenic Course in America!

The Colorado Marathon course has repeatedly been claimed to be the most scenic course in America. The thrill of running down the Poudre River Canyon in the Colorado Rockies is an experience and a memory that will last a lifetime.

 

Top Boston Qualifier

The Colorado Marathon has consistently produced a high number of Boston qualifying times. The distracting beauty, gradual down hill, mild weather and slight tail wind combine for a marathon and half marathon time (and overall experience) that may be pleasantly surprising.

 

What I get with my entry fee??

Besides the scenery and fast course, which are fortunately out of our control and always guaranteed to be spectacular, all participants receive... Brooks technical running shirt, Custom Finisher Print (its like a poster), Goody bag with, well, many more goodies --- All Marathon, half marathon and 5k participants are provided a charter luxury bus ride to the starts (this is worth the price of admission). --- All marathon and half marathon finishers receive a CUSTOM MEDALLION.

 

Fort Collins #1 place to live in America??

In 2008, CNN/Money magazine ranked Fort Collins #2 in America's best small cities. So, come visit our little treasure nestled against the Colorado Rockies and Rocky Mountain National Park. Denver International Airport is a short distance away.
