Join us on a journey from Fort Collins to Loveland. The marathon begins at Edora Park in Fort Collins and ends at Fairgrounds Park in Loveland. The half-marathon starts at Fossil Creek Park and also ends at Fairgrounds Park in Loveland. Along the way, whether in the half or the full, enjoy stunning mountain views as you piece together sections of the newly completed Long View and Front Range bike paths.
On a side note, when shirts are sold out, please come to the finish line merch after your race. We ALWAYS have shirts at the finish line for those who were unable to grab one during registration.
