DENVER — One of Colorado's largest running events is right around the corner, and we now have our first look at the medals runners will be racing for this year.
The Denver Colfax Marathon presented by Cigna returns Saturday, May 20, and Sunday, May 21, 2023.
The weekend's events include a marathon, half marathon, 10 miler, 5K and the nation’s largest marathon relay.
The 2023 marathon finisher medal features a detailed look at notable landmarks runners will pass in Denver including the State Capitol, Empower Field at Mile High, and Denver Fire Station No. 1.
The half marathon finisher medal even has a giraffe, as that race passes through Denver Zoo.
"This is the third year we've done a medal that has so much and is so intricate, it's really unusual in the country to do this," Denver Colfax Marathon CEO Andrea Dowdy said. "But we realized that's there's so much you pass, so much you see and so much you're proud of when you have your medal. So we said let's create an art piece, let's give you something to display."
More than 20,000 runners are expected to participate in the 17th annual Denver Colfax Marathon, which will again serve as a Boston Marathon-qualifying event.
Denver Colfax Marathon registration is available at RunColfax.org.
