The Colorado Marathon è una corsa su strada a Fort Collins, che di solito si corre il primo weekend di maggio. Ci sono la marathon, la half marathon, la 10K, la 5K e una corsa per bambini. La marathon completa parte presto, attirando migliaia di partecipanti, dalla gente del posto che fa le distanze più corte ai maratoneti che puntano al personale o alla qualifica per la Boston Marathon. Il percorso della marathon segue il Poudre River Canyon per gran parte del tracciato, prima di entrare nelle aree naturali di Fort Collins e finire in città. Questo percorso prevalentemente in discesa è un bel richiamo; nei suoi primi quattro anni, il 18% dei partecipanti ha ottenuto un tempo di qualifica per la Boston Marathon. Nata come Fort Collins Old Town Marathon, la manifestazione mantiene un'attenzione al territorio grazie alle iscrizioni di beneficenza, che hanno un costo maggiore con i proventi destinati a organizzazioni benefiche locali.
