32nd Annual Steamboat Marathon

Sun. Jun. 2, 2013

7:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Run alongside the roaring Elk River through the emerald green pastures on Country Road 129 with the snow-capped Rocky Mountains of Colorado all around and find out why the Steamboat Marathon was ranked as one of the “Top 10 Destination Marathons in North America.”

“The Steamboat Marathon is a unique combination of beautiful scenery and extraordinary people, which makes this race fun for everyone who participates,” says Paul Sachs, the Steamboat Marathon Race Director.

"Runners from all over the country look forward to the Steamboat Marathon because it is still a relatively small race with a hometown feel and it’s a race where every runner counts."

Road Closure

From 6am until 3pm we will be closing the westbound lanes of Lincoln Avenue from 5th to 11th for the finish of all the races. The side streets off of Lincoln Ave to Oak Street that will be closed are 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. 

We will have traffic controls in place for vehicular traffic on Hwy 129 again this year. Northbound traffic on 129 will be diverted to the left lane just past the entrance to Elk River Estates and proceed north to Cullens Corner where traffic controllers will be in place. Southbound traffic on 129 will be diverted at Cullens Corner onto RCR 44, and then back onto 129 at the intersection of 44 and 129 just north of the airport. From Cullens Corner to the start of the half marathon at approximately Moon Hill there will be one way traffic, controlled by a pilot car leading the traffic on the west side of the road. Traffic controls and pilot car operations will be in place. Traffic Control Area Map
