Colorado Colfax Marathon

The Post-News Colorado Colfax Marathon made an improvement with its new course Sunday. Unlike last year, when runners were sent in the wrong direction, adding a half-mile to an already brutal 26.2-mile race, the top 30 runners only had to go an extra quarter-mile this year. They were led off-course after the first mile because a bicycle pacer made a wrong turn. But within a few minutes, race officials knew the runners were headed in the wrong direction out of City Park and turned them around.
