About the Colorado Springs Marathon, Half, 5K, and Kids K

The course starts and finishes at the Pioneers Museum, heading west before dropping into America the Beautiful Park and then north along a greenway trail into the park beyond. The surface shifts as you go, moving from cement to packed gravel to pavement, and the return leg retraces the same path back.

The start and finish area is anchored by the museum on Vermijo, so the post-race scene has a clear center. The route is out-and-back, which means you will recognize the terrain on the way home, and the park sections offer some shelter from the street.

Common Questions About the Colorado Springs Marathon, Half, 5K, and Kids K

Will I finish last at the Colorado Springs Marathon, Half, 5K, and Kids K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:19:31, and the last recorded finisher came in around 4:28:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Colorado Springs Marathon, Half, 5K, and Kids K a good first 13.1 Miles?

With 1,154 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Colorado Springs Marathon, Half, 5K, and Kids K?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:17:27 while the median finisher took 2:19:31. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
