2026 Finisher Medals Revealed for Year 20
Year 20 has given us so much inspiration for our medals!
As runners, we know we love to display our accomplishments and memories. Years ago we added a stand so Colfax runners could use these as art pieces on a desk or shelf. And we added a charm/mini-medal as well – to clip on a backpack or use as a zipper pull.
- On all of the medals you see the Denver skyline, the Rocky Mountains, Clock Tower, and Colfax street sign.
- And them we added the fun of each unique course –
- Marathon/Relay/10 Miler medal – highlights a horse representing the Denver Broncos great season and stadium, the Twister Rollercoaster & Ferris Wheel.
- Half Marathon – features a Grizzley Bear, and a Sea Lion from our Zoo, as well as Dancing Aliens.
With the stand in mind – we created our 20 Year art piece – representing elements/memories from the course. With one of the most scenic courses, from iconic landmarks to mountain views, choosing the elements is great fun each year. Pictured above are the 4 medals – left to right are the Urban 10 (green), Marathon Relay (blue), Half Marathon (orange) and Marathon (burgundy)
For our 20th year, the medals feature highlights from the Colfax courses etched in 3D in antique silver!
