The Denver Colfax Marathon will feature eight different races over two days: Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19. The weekend's events include a marathon, half marathon, 10 miler, 5K, and the nation’s largest marathon relay. The 2024 race day medals of the Denver Colfax Marathon will celebrate Denver's landmarks as well as award finishers with their own piece of history after completing a race at 5,280 feet above sea level. The Denver Colfax Marathon is one of the only races in the country that highlights the actual racecourse on its medals. The 2024 marathon, 10 miler, and marathon relay finisher medals features an aerial view of Empower Field at Mile High, the Ferris wheel at Elitch Gardens, the clocktower on 16th Street Mall, the Denver skyline, mountains and some of Denver's unique bridges. The highlight of the half marathon is running through Denver Zoo with the medal showcasing a lion to commemorate the race. "Our medals are so unique, they each tell a story," Dowdy said. "They are more than a showcase of accomplishment; each medal is a piece of artwork that our runners proudly display year after year." The Denver Colfax Marathon medals come with a stand built into it, allowing runners to display their medal on a desktop, with the option of still hanging it on a door or a knob. There’s also a removeable charm/mini-medal that runners can clip on a backpack or use as a zipper pull. More than 21,000 runners are expected to participate in the 18th annual Denver Colfax Marathon, which will again serve as a Boston Marathon-qualifying event.
