WHY: "As a former professional athlete, I know what it takes to
train for a big race and the disappointment of not being able
to finish due to circumstances outside of my control," said
Denver Marathon Executive Director Anton Villatoro. "In
response to many local Colorado runners who were hoping to
complete the Chicago Marathon last weekend but could not
finish, our race wants to give these runners another chance to
reach the finish line."
The Denver Marathon race course is flat and has little to no
elevation change and will be certified by USA Track & Field as
a qualifier for the Boston Marathon.
