The Colorado Marathon is one of the best marathons to qualify for the Boston Marathon because of the downhill course. The gradual decline in elevation gives runners a fast advantage that not many other Boston qualifying races provide. Each year, the Colorado Marathon qualifies up to 18% of all participants.
