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.

Certified course and electronic chip timing

The Marathon and Half Marathon courses are certified. All events will have electronic chip timing. Start mats are located at Marathon and Half Marathon starts to provide a "net" finish time and half marathon split time.
