Marathon and Half Marathon Information

10K Run and Walk Information

Entry Limit: No Limit

The USATF-certified 10K starts and finishes in the heart of downtown Steamboat Springs. Runners head from 5th Street into Strawberry Park, trading downtown streets for open roads and mountain views before making their way back into town for a finish on Lincoln Avenue.

New in 2027, runners ages 9–12 can take on the 10K alongside a parent or adult for just $20, making it a chance for the next generation to experience the Steamboat Marathon.

Respect the Rural

The race travels along rural county roads where livestock and wildlife may be present on or near the course. Please help us respect the land, local residents, and animals that make this place home. For information on safely interacting with animal herds, please read more here.

Time Standard

The official course time limit for the Steamboat Marathon is 5 hours and 30 minutes, which is a run/walk pace of at least 12 minutes and 30 seconds per mile.

The race starts at 7:30 am, and the course closes at 1:00 pm. This policy is strictly enforced for runner safety. Between increasing weather temperatures and vehicle traffic, runner safety is our top priority. 

If a participant’s pace falls below the course time limit, they have a few options:

• Increase pace to stay within the minimum designated marathon pace (12:30).
• Board the official SAG (support and gear) vehicle to be transported to the finish line. 
• If the participant cannot or chooses not to continue, the SAG vehicle will move them to the next available Medical Station, where they can be transported to the finish, or give them a ride directly to the finish line.
• Comply with the designated cut-off locations outlined below.
• Race services, aid stations, and traffic control will not be provided on the course after 1:00 p.m. An early start is not available. If you’re unable to run the full marathon in less than 5 hours and 30 minutes, please register for the half-marathon. 

To ensure we stay within the city-approved timeline and prioritize the safety of all participants, we will be implementing four (4) official cut-off points throughout the race. 

Cut-Off #1
Approx. Mile 12.8
Address: Mile 13 
Time: 10:30 am 

Cut-off #2
Approx. Mile 17.8
Address: Christina Campground 
Time: 11:45 am

Cut-off #3
Approx. Mile 22.4
Address: Josie Schroeder 
Time: 12:15 pm

Cut-off #4
Approx. Mile 24.5 and any remaining runners on the course will be transported to the finish line. 
Address: Steamboat Vet

Again, these cut-off times are in place for runner safety. We understand that you have trained hard. Race services, aid stations, and traffic control will not be provided on the course after 5 hours and 30 minutes. An early start is not available. If you’re unable to run the full marathon in less than 5 hours and 30 minutes, please register for the half-marathon.
