IS THE COLORADO MARATHON A BOSTON QUALIFIER?

Yes it is. In fact, all marathons that have a certified course are Boston qualifiers. Our course happens to be one of the most successful at providing qualifying performances. The Colorado Marathon (formerly The Old Town Marathon) has qualified 16-18% of all entrants in each of its first 8 years, a higher percentage than any other marathon in the US. The course was changed slightly in the summer of 2005 and is now faster than the previous one. The net drop is slightly higher and we have removed a small out and back portion which included a small up hill section.
