Standouts

---

The Colorado Marathon is a fast, net-downhill point-to-point race descending the Cache la Poudre canyon into Fort Collins, starting at Stevens Gulch above 6,000 ft and finishing near 5,000 ft. It is a USATF-certified Boston qualifier with a net loss of roughly 1,000 ft, and about 15.1% of finishers qualified for Boston in 2022.

Why attend here

May in Fort Collins means the river canyon is lush and the trails are prime for a pre-race shakeout, with the Cache la Poudre's Wild and Scenic waters roaring alongside you. After crossing the finish in Old Town, refuel with a local craft beer and a bison burger on a patio, soaking in the mountain views and the town's laid-back, outdoorsy vibe.
