"The City of Denver is an outstanding destination to run a marathon, and we
are excited to offer runners a flat, scenic course and one of the most
entertaining post-race parties in the Rockies," said Anton Villatoro,
General Manager of the Denver Marathon. "The course travels through some of
Denver's beautiful urban parks as well as travels major landmarks such as
Coors Field, Union Station and the internationally recognized Denver Art
Museum; all set to the backdrop of the breathtaking mountains that give
Colorado its gorgeous panoramas."
Named "Best Marathon" in 2007 by Colorado Runner and one of 10 "Marathons
You Should Do in 2008" by Runner's World, the marathon highlights the
cultural diversity of Denver's communities by incorporating a mix of urban
neighborhoods, shopping and restaurant districts, city parks and
residential areas in its marathon, half marathon and relay courses. The
racecourse will again start in front of the State Capitol, and travel past
many of Denver's major landmarks including Larimer Square, the Pepsi Center
and the Denver Public Library. The Denver Marathon course has little to no
elevation change and is certified by USA Track & Field as a qualifier for
