Believe it or not, Steamboat does not simply go to sleep once the ski season ends; in fact, some call the summers here "even better" than the winters!
We won't pick favorites, but we will say that the summers in The 'Boat are pretty amazing.
And Steamboat traditionally kicks off the summer with two signature events: The Steamboat Marathon in early June and the Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup on Father's Day Weekend.

About the Race
"The Steamboat Marathon is a unique combination of beautiful scenery and extraordinary people, which makes this race fun for everyone who participates,” says Paul Sachs, the Steamboat Marathon Race Director.
"Runners from all over the country look forward to the Steamboat Marathon because it is still a relatively small race with a hometown feel and it’s a race where every runner counts."
Runner's World recently chose the Steamboat Half to feature in it's Bucket List: 10 Destination Half Marathons.
