The course passes through Sports Authority Field at Mile High twice as well as Denver Fire Station 1. Aside from these landmarks, a full seven miles of course takes runners over bridges, along rivers, and beside lakes, such as Sloan’s Lake. For most of the course, runners are presented with spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains.
Holding distinction as one of a few marathons held entirely above an elevation of 5,250 feet the Colfax Marathon is a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon.

Further, there are awards for the best runner in each age group. The current time to beat is 2:32:32 for men and 3:10:41 for women.
