Colorado Springs Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, 5K & Kids K

Saturday, September 28, 2024 • Colorado Springs, CO • Course Map

Note: A virtual option is available for this event. Registration details are included below.

Take a high-altitude run through the streets of this more-than-a-mile-high city about an hour’s drive south from Denver at the Colorado Springs Marathon, which unfolds here along the foot of the Rocky Mountains and features stretches along creekside trails as well as downtown city streets here in the home of the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Runners will start the out-and-back course for the half marathon next to the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum in the heart of downtown. From there, the course heads north, then west toward America the Beautiful Park.

You’ll ran all the way around the park before making your way onto the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail, a 15-ft.-wide paved and gravel trail that runs alongside Monument Creek.

This stretch features some of the most scenic of the race, as you’ll make your way along the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail. You’ll stay on the trail for the next two miles as you make your way through Monument Valley Park, and then continue north along the trail through Boddington Park and turning around near Garden of the Gods Road.

The final stretch of the race brings runners back south along the trail, then retracing their steps toward the finish line at the museum.

Runners will have 6 1/2 hours to complete the half marathon, and the half marathon awards ceremony is set to begin at 10:00 AM.
