NEW in 2012
We like to keep the course fresh. Think it’s a boring run straight uphill on Colfax? Think again. First time ever, for any marathon: epic run through Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium. 7 miles of water. And a run through Denver Fire Station #1.
Virtual Urban Tour
Take the photo tour. You’ll learn lots of priceless trivia about the Denver’s sights you’ll be running past.
Runner’s Goodies
It wouldn’t be a marathon without tech shirts (2011 shirt-spotting all over town). Awesome keepsake finisher medals. And goody bags with great offers from sponsors, plus Colfax discounts on food, drink, clothing, services, classes. Bigger and better for 2012.
Easy Packet Pick Up
NEW: The 2012 Sports & Fitness Expo will be at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium! Free parking - and plenty of it. Enjoy the view from the Club Suites and visit all the awesome running vendors and race sponsors. Friday & Saturday, May 18-19.
Glory & Awards
Awards for top 3 finishers for open, masters and age groups - male and female. Going for glory? You can say you ran 26.2 miles. At 5,280 feet altitude. With a smile. Bucket list material.
Aid Stations Every 2 Miles
Maybe you’ve heard about hydrating. It’s important. We have awesome volunteers manning aid stations every 2 miles - with water and Gatorade. Gu is waiting at miles 10 and 20. Oh yeah, lots of porta-potties, too.
