The third annual Post-News Colorado Colfax Marathon is ready to roll on Sunday, May 18, 2008 at 6:00 am with a brand new, screaming fast race course.
Excitement is building to run the brand new course along world famous Colfax Avenue in the cities of Aurora, Denver and Lakewood. The Post-News Colorado Colfax Marathon invites runners of all ages and level of athletic ability to register online now at
www.coloradocolfaxmarathon.org.
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're really excited for the race this year," said Dave Walstrom, President of the Colfax Marathon Partnership, Inc. "We listened to last year's runners and made some significant changes. We've got a brand new, fast course."
NEW THIS YEAR
-- 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!
-- Over 20 Charity Partners are recruiting runners to raise funds for their organizations in the race. Who will you run for?
