Denver's Colfax Marathon

Lets see your selfies from your running adventures this week!

The Denver Colfax Marathon is more than a race - it's a tour through the heart of the city 🎨🏃

Throughout the course, runners are surrounded by colorful murals, public art, and iconic landmarks that showcase Denver's creativity. One of the highlights? The vibrant artwork along the Cherry Creek trail, where every turn brings something new to see.

Marathon training has a funny way of keeping you humble 😅

You start the plan expecting every run to feel strong, every workout to go perfectly, and race day to come easily. Then reality hits - early alarms, tired legs, unpredictable weather, missed workouts, and long runs that don't always go as planned.

The good news? That's all part of the journey. Every mile, good or bad, gets you one step closer to the finish line.
