Come celebrate the 13th Annual Colorado Springs Marathon Saturday, October 3, 2026! Whether you are a seasoned runner or looking to tackle your first 5k, we have you covered with 4 events to choose from. Beginning and ending on Vermijo at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, the Full Marathon will head West on Colorado Ave and drop into America the Beautiful Park. From there, the route will head north on the Greenway Trail through Monument Valley Park. The Greenway Trail is approximately 15 feet wide, cement for the first mile and hard pack pea gravel before the path turns to a paved surface through the Greenway and Santa Fe trails before turning back and returning the same way back to the Finish Line where the celebration awaits!
