Run from Fort Collins to Loveland
The Long View Marathon takes place in Colorado, offering a point-to-point journey between the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland. The event features three distinct distances for participants:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 5k
The Marathon course begins at Edora Park in Fort Collins and concludes at Fairgrounds Park in Loveland. Runners participating in the Half Marathon start their race at Fossil Creek Park and follow the route to the same finish line at Fairgrounds Park. The 5k event is centered at the Fairgrounds Park location.
The routes utilize sections of the Long View and Front Range bike paths. These newly completed paths provide participants with views of the surrounding mountains throughout the run.
Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers in the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5k. For the longer two distances, age group awards are also provided in categories ranging from 29 and under to 60 and up. Specific awards for the 5k include the top three masters finishers.
Packet pickup is available the day before the event at a local running store in Fort Collins, or at the respective start lines on the morning of the races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
