How do I complete my virtual event? (+ RaceJoy Info)

We know, this is new and lots of ways virtual events are being conducted. See below for our style of virtual racing.

Where do I complete my run/walk?

You can complete your event using one of our CSM Curated Courses or literally do it ANYWHERE!  You will need to use the RaceJoy app while you run or walk.

Do I have to be in Colorado Springs to participate in the virtual race?

No! While you won't be able to use the pre-chartered courses located in the city of Colorado Springs, you can do it anywhere in the world. Select the "Anywhere" course option in the RaceJoy app and start your race at your favorite park, along the best trail, or outside your front door and get moving. You'll still get to experience a special enhanced race with custom audio messages and tracking.

When do I need to complete my race?

ANYTIME between September 27th - October 11th, 2025. It's ONE of the best parts of our virtual edition. Remember to use the RaceJoy app to hear special messages while you run or walk and for easy submission of results.

What is the RaceJoy app?

It's a special app designed for the Colorado Springs Marathon, Half, 5K, and Kids K. It can be used on both Android and Apple phones. When the app is in use, runners will hear custom audio messages with fun and informative content to enjoy while you race. Learn and be entertained!

How do I use the RaceJoy app?

Download RaceJoy from your phone's app store for free. Search for "Colorado Springs Marathon." Select the event and follow the on-screen instructions to get signed up. You will be asked a short series of questions to get you linked up to the event. This is separate from your race registration. Select the route you want to use and run!

Can I use a treadmill?

Yes! Two things...


1. The RaceJoy app uses your GPS location to determine when to deliver our fun custom messages. The app won't work if you are using a treadmill.


2. You will need to submit your results manually. Go to the CSM Manual Results Submission Page, search for your registration by name and follow the onscreen instructions.  Check out the helpful instructions in the RunSignUp Results Submission tutorial.

Can I use Strava, FitBit, Apple Watch, etc...

Yes.  You can use your own preferred running, walking, step, or health app to track yourself while completing the virtual Colorado Springs Marathon. If you use anything other than the RaceJoy app, you will need to Submit Your CSM Results Manually.

Please contact our team with any additional questions at info@thecoloradospringsmarathon.com
