STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO-May 27, 2025-The rhythmic sound of runners’ feet will echo across the Yampa Valley on Sunday, June 1, as thousands of participants take on the scenic course of the Steamboat Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K.
Hosted annually in one of Colorado’s most picturesque locations, the race winds through the valley before finishing in the heart of downtown Steamboat Springs.
As all races finish downtown, the event will require street closures and traffic detours throughout the day on Sunday, with impacts beginning early in the morning and continuing into the afternoon.
The Steamboat Marathon, a certified Boston Qualifier race, was ranked as one of the Top 10 Destination Marathons in North America. Plenty of opportunities exist for community members to volunteer during the weekend and registration to help is available online.
In downtown Steamboat Springs, westbound lanes of Lincoln Avenue will be closed from 5th to 12th 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 US40.
In addition, a rolling closure on 5th Street from Lincoln to Oak will be encountered Sunday morning, between 6am and 9am, for the 10K start. 6th Street between Lincoln Avenue and Oak Street will also be closed (6am to 3pm) 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 and please slow down and give ample room when passing.
Additional traffic controls will be in place further north on CR 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 CR 44/129 intersections. Drivers should expect traffic delays and allow for extra travel time.
The 44th annual running of the Steamboat Marathon, Half Marathon and 10k runs alongside the roaring Elk River through the emerald pastures on Country Road 129 with the snow-capped Rocky Mountains all around.
