The Colorado Springs Marathon begins and ends on Vermijo Street adjacent to the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, placing the main event in downtown Colorado Springs from the outset. The series takes place each fall, featuring a marathon, half marathon, 5K, and Kids K, with virtual options available for each distance for participants unable to attend in person. This event is family-oriented, including a race expo and packet pickup prior to race day, along with exhibitor booths at the finish line. The marathon route proceeds west on Colorado Avenue, descends into America the Beautiful Park, and then follows the Greenway Trail north through Monument Valley Park. Participants will encounter varied terrain: concrete for the initial mile of the Greenway Trail, followed by hard-packed pea gravel, and then paved paths along the Greenway and Santa Fe trails before returning towards downtown. The courses wind through parks and past historic monuments, with the finish line situated back at the Pioneers Museum. This marks the series' 13th year, attracting participants from across the nation, and has reached capacity in recent years.
