Colorado Springs Marathon/Half-Marathon/5K!!!

I consider the Colorado Springs Marathon to be one of the very best running events in town all year! You can choose to run the 5K course, the half-marathon, or the full marathon. I ran the half-marathon last year, and found it to be an extremely well organized and QUITE well-attended event! Last year, we had a mix of people running the different distances and it worked out nicely. I'm signed up to run the half-marathon again this year. It should be a great fun time!

It's a beautiful course that starts downtown and runs north along the Greenway Trail before turning back around. The full marathon course goes all the way up to the Air Force Academy grounds, the half-marathon turns around at about Garden of the Gods Blvd., and the 5K course is a nice loop through the downtown area. The early October weather should still be pleasant, but the worst of the oppressive summertime heat should be past us by race day! If we get a good group together, we can also do some post-race celebrating & eating at one of the many good downtown restaurants.

Also keep in mind that there is no race-day packet pickup; you'll need to pick up your packet the day before.

The 5K race will be perfect even for beginners and it's totally fine to walk the course as well. And if you want to try out one of the longer distances, this race is still a few months away, so there's plenty of time left to train! Hope you can join me!
