The full marathon, a Boston Marathon qualifier, begins high in the historic Hahns Peak Village at over 8,100 feet and offers a spectacular point-to-point, net-downhill course that descends over 1,400 feet to the finish line in downtown Steamboat Springs. Runners will traverse paved country roads through the picturesque Elk River Valley, passing by wide-open wildflower meadows, dense forests, and the roaring Elk River, often spotting local wildlife and horses in pastures, all against a backdrop of snow-capped Rocky Mountains. While primarily downhill, the course features some rolling hills to keep runners engaged, with the biggest climb between miles 8 and 9. The half marathon shares this scenic beauty, starting at Moon Hill mid-course, while the 10K offers a lively, rolling loop through Old Town Steamboat and Strawberry Park, starting and finishing downtown.

Runners can expect ample support with 13 aid stations along the marathon and half marathon courses, roughly every three miles, providing water, Honey Stinger products, and first aid, along with portable toilets. The finish line for all distances is located at the courthouse in downtown Steamboat Springs, where a vibrant post-race celebration awaits. Participants praise the race for its efficient organization, the cheerful volunteers, and above all, the peaceful and inspiring natural beauty that makes every mile a memorable experience.
