About the Steamboat Marathon

The course follows the Elk River along a country road through open ranch pastures, with snowcapped peaks visible in most directions. The terrain is gentle enough that the marathon carries Boston Qualifier certification, so the route leans downhill or flat through that valley landscape rather than testing you with climbs.

Common Questions About the The Steamboat Marathon

Will I finish last at the Steamboat Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:14:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 5:25:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Steamboat Marathon a good first 13.1 Miles?

With 833 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 Steamboat Marathon?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:18:07 while the median finisher took 2:14:20. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
