The Steamboat Maraton will take place on June 2 as runners participate in the marathon, half marathon and 10K — ending at the the finish line in downtown Steamboat Springs. 

With all races finishing downtown, the event brings some street closures for most of the day on June 2. Opportunities for community members to volunteer during the weekend are available through Volunteers.com. 

In downtown Steamboat Springs, westbound lanes of Lincoln Avenue will be closed from 5th to 11th streets for the finish of all races and racers’ safety. Vehicle traffic will be split (one in each direction) in the two lanes normally designated for eastbound traffic on U.S. 40.  

In addition, a rolling closure on 5th Street from Lincoln to Oak will be encountered Sunday morning between 6-9 a.m. for the 10K start. Sixth Street between Lincoln Avenue and Oak Street will also be closed (6 a.m. to 3 p.m.) for the Vendors Expo and race activities.

When traveling Routt County Road 129 (Elk River Road), anticipate numerous runners, support vehicles and emergency apparatus on the road. Slow down and give ample room when passing. 

Additional traffic controls will be in place further north on C.R. 129 with detours and one-way traffic. Traffic controls and pilot car operations will also be encountered around key points such as Elk River Estates, Cullen’s Corner, Moon Hill, Steamboat Springs Airport and C.R. 44/129 intersections. Drivers should expect traffic delays and allow for extra travel time.

The 43rd annual running of the Steamboat Marathon, half marathon and 10k runs alongside the Elk River on Country Road 129. 

The Steamboat Marathon, a certified Boston Qualifier race, was ranked as one of the “Top 10 Destination Marathons in North America.”
