About the Long View Marathon
The course runs point-to-point, starting in Fort Collins and finishing in Loveland. Both the full and the half use stretches of recently built bike paths, the Long View and Front Range trails, so the pavement is smooth and the route feels open. Mountain views are present for much of the run, off to the west as you move south through the corridor between the two cities.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at a local running store in Fort Collins. Race-morning pickup is also available, but the start times are firm, so arriving early matters. Each distance has its own start location, with the finish shared at Fairgrounds Park in Loveland.

The Long View Marathon has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
