Denver Colfax Marathon – Relay Teams

Are you looking for a meaningful New Year’s resolution? A fun goal to train toward with friends? A reason to reconnect with people after the holidays, but under a shared challenge? We’ve got the perfect solution: come run the Denver Colfax Marathon Relay with us!

• Shared challenge, shared glory. Rather than go solo for 26.2 miles, imagine crossing that finish line with 4 of your teammates with each person running one leg. We’ll be pushing each other, celebrating together at the end, and sharing one epic experience.
• Flexible commitment, huge payoff. You only need to run one leg!  Even if you’re not marathon-ready, you can still be part of something big. With 5 runners per team, each leg is manageable, but the collective experience is powerful. The shortest leg is 3.8 miles, and the longest leg is 6.5 miles.
• Fun, sights, community. The course spans iconic Denver, from stadiums to downtown streets, lakesides, and city neighborhoods. It’s not just a race.  It’s a chance to see the city in a new way, high-five friends at relay exchanges, and share a milestone together. The full relays cover a variety of terrain and scenery.
• Make 2026 a year of purpose. Many of us set vague intentions at New Year’s – get healthier, try something new, push ourselves. Signing up now makes 2026 concrete.
