How fast is it?
About average for Colorado half marathons

- Marathon: About average for US marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 marathon field finished under 3:57:43, against 3:52:43 in a typical US marathon, so times here are about average.
- 10K: Slower than most Colorado 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 1:01:51, against 55:16 in a typical Colorado 10K, so times here run 12 percent slower.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
