On 7 June 2026, the 45th edition of the Steamboat Marathon will take place, featuring distances of 42.195 km (marathon), 21.1 km (half marathon) and 10 km. Starting high in elevation and following rural roads along the Elk River and Country Road 129, the route descends–offering sweeping views of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and lush pastures. The finish is in downtown Steamboat Springs, which gives the race a relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere despite its destination appeal. As a Boston qualifier on a certified course, it attracts both serious runners seeking fast times and destination runners looking for a scenic race. With aid stations, full race logistics, and a smaller field size, it remains a high-value event for runners who want something memorable and manageable.
