ABOUT COLORADO RUNNER
Colorado Runner was founded by Derek and Jessica Griffiths in 2003. They were becoming frustrated with looking for races and results of races in Colorado, so they decided to put a magazine together to allow local runners one resource for all their running needs. Thus, Colorado Runner was born. Due to the ever changing landscape of print media, Colorado Runner’s last print edition was published on March 1st of 2019. We still maintain a comprehensive website as well as producing multiple events each year. To learn more about our events, click here.
