Boulder, and the Denver area, is a running paradise, and there is no reason you cannot have two more marathons. I think this reflects a trend. Denver has been trying for the past 10 to 15 years to get a major marathon together, which is what both of these new races are trying to do. We will see if the Denver metro area can support two marathons. |
I have not heard of anything like this, where every finisher in a marathon receives a pair of shoes. It's a novel, innovative idea. The shoe give-away should boost the percentage of finishers. |
The same thing could happen here. These new marathons may turn out to be helping everybody. |
