Le Long View Marathon se déroule en mode point à point entre Fort Collins et Loveland, dans le nord du Colorado. Le marathon complet part d'Edora Park et arrive à Fairgrounds Park. La même zone d'arrivée accueille le half marathon, qui lui part de Fossil Creek Park, ainsi qu'un 5K dont le parcours est centré sur Fairgrounds Park. Les courses ont lieu en octobre, avec des départs échelonnés le matin pour le marathon, le half marathon et le 5K. Le parcours emprunte des sections des pistes cyclables Long View et Front Range, ce qui veut dire que les courses les plus longues utilisent un couloir de chemin goudronné plutôt qu'une boucle fermée en centre-ville. Tu peux récupérer ton dossard chez Altitude Running à Fort Collins avant le jour de la course, ou bien sur place à la zone de départ de chaque course le matin même, mais attention, avec une heure limite stricte. Pour le marathon et le half marathon, les prix incluent des œuvres personnalisées de l'artiste locale Amy Hayman, des cartes cadeaux de commerces du coin, des prix au scratch et des récompenses par catégorie d'âge. Le 5K, lui, propose des prix au scratch et pour les masters.
