Part of a weekend full of events including a full marathon,
half-marathon and marathon relay, the Denver Marathon & Half
Marathon starts and finishes at Denver's State Capitol building
downtown. Mostly flat with little to no changes in elevation, the
course takes runners past many of the city's famous landmarks,
including the Denver Art Museum and "LoDo," which shows off the city's
Larimer Square, Pepsi Center, Union Station, and Coors
Field. The course also winds through several parks and neighborhoods,
and through Denver's art district on Santa Fe Drive past the Museo de
las
Americas.
