"We are extremely excited about forming a partnership with Cigna that will enable us to take our running event to new heights in Colorado and the U.S.," said Denver Colfax Marathon CEO Andrea Dowdy.

Cigna, whose Mountain States region is headquartered in Denver, has more than 1,800 employees in Colorado. 

"At Cigna, we are focused on whole person health and recognize the benefits of physical activity and social connection on people’s physical health and mental well-being," said Cigna Mountain States President John Roble. "Our title sponsorship of the Denver Colfax Marathon is a great opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle and support the Denver community."

Cigna will also be title sponsor of the health and fitness expo at Empower Field at Mile High that attracts over 40,000 attendees on Friday and Saturday of race weekend.
