The American Discovery Trail Marathon may be used as a qualifier for the Boston Marathon. Prizes for top three female and male finishers:

1st Place = $250; 2nd Place = $150; 3rd Place = $100.

Support from El Paso County Search and Rescue, from District 14 of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and from volunteers at 15 aid stations and the finish area is gratefully acknowledged by race organizers and participants.

This event is almost entirely on trails. The point-to-point course begins near Palmer Lake, CO and ends in Colorado Springs. The course generally follows the path of the former Sante Fe railroad right-of-way from north to south. The altitude drops gradually along the trail starting at about 7300 feet and ending around 6040 feet near downtown Colorado Springs. It is a gently rolling, fast course, with about 75% hardpacked trails, some gravel and some asphalt pavement.

The course lies just east of the Rampart Range and offers views of the majestic United States Air Force Academy and fantastic glimpses of Pikes Peak and other nearby mountain scenery.
