Mayor, city manager starters for Colorado Marathon
FORT COLLINS — Fort Collins Mayor Doug Hutchinson and City Manager Darin Atteberry have been named race starters for the seventh annual Colorado Marathon to be held May 4.
”I’m delighted to be involved,” said Hutchinson. “The Colorado Marathon has become a signature event that showcases Fort Collins and the scenic Poudre Canyon to thousands of runners and their friends and families.”
”We’re thrilled to have Mayor Doug Hutchinson and City Manager Darin Atteberry involved in the event, especially as race registrations are really booming this year,” said race director Brian Cathcart. “This began as — and remains — a true grassroots, authentic Fort Collins experience and the collective efforts of our race committee, volunteers, sponsors and the community are really starting to pay off.”
Fort Collins has been rated by Runner’s Magazine as one of the top 25 running communities in the nation. The Colorado Marathon, starting in Poudre Canyon, drops 1,200 feet as it passes through Laporte and along the river to finish in the center of downtown Fort Collins.
Last year’s marathon drew about 3,000 participants from 42 states and six countries. For more information, visit www.thecoloradomarathon.com.

We, the undersigned, do register our complete outrage with the City of Berkeley for the recent resolutions that criticized our Marines, as part of an effort to harass the Marine Recruiting Center and chase all vestiges of the United States military outside of the city of Berkeley, California.
