The 2008 Colfax Marathon is ready to roll on Sunday, May 18, 2008 with a brand new, screaming fast course. Last year's runners spoke, and we listened.

An anticipated 6,000 runners will compete along Colorado's most colorful street in the full marathon (26.2 miles), the half-marathon (13.1 miles) or a relay team comprised of 5 members.

"We listened to last year's runners and made some significant changes. We've got a brand new, fast course," said Dave Walstrom, President of the Colfax Marathon Partnership, Inc. "This race is a celebration of the vibrant Colfax community."

• It’s a brand new course! With expert help from a Runners Advisory Group, the new course starts and finishes in Denver's City Park. The course is USATF certified and a qualifier for the Boston Marathon.

• No more hard hills, no net elevation gain, more shade, and great neighborhood diversity. And yes, more porta-potties!

• The 26.2 mile course has a single start/finish in City Park. The course heads west on vibrant Colfax out to Simms Boulevard. Runners loop back through downtown Denver, east on Colfax to the FitzSimmons Anschutz campus, and finish back in City Park.
