Special thanks to our sponsors and contributors! We could not have launched this event without you.

We are delighted to announce that Mama Rose's Fine Italian Restaurant is our title sponsor for the fifth consecutive year! With the support of Julie & Rob Pieper and Mama Rose's restaurant, we've had tremendous success putting on a great event, and raising funds for Estes Valley youth causes. Please stop in to Mama Rose's or Poppy's restaurant, have some of their great food, and thank them for helping us be so successful! You can access their website here.

We are also delighted to announce that SATURN have agreed to support the Estes Park Marathon races for 2008. The major car manufacturer will be supplying race bibs for the KIDS FUN RUN!, and race mileage signs for the 5K and half marathon. They will have a car display at the finish area and an opportunity for every race participant to sign up for a vehicle give away! See the website of their local Fort Collins dealership for more information on this progressive car manufacturer here.

Newton Running, the Boulder based shoe company will be supporting the Estes Park Marathon in 2008. Newton Running was founded by a small group of elite runners from Boulder, Colorado. Their philosophy is based on our natural gait when we run barefoot. We are one of only 5 marathon events that Newton will support in 2008. They are also the official footwear partner for the North American Sports Ironman events. They will be providing gift cards, hats, visors and socks as race prizes. Their shoes are made from recycled products - see more on this innovative manufacturer on their website here.

PowerBar will be providing their Performance Bars featuring C2Max for pre race and post race nutrition, while they will also be supplying PowerBar Gels for aid stations out on the course. Their products are widely used by many of the world's top athletes - world record holder for the men's marathon, Haile Gabrselassie, has been a PowerBar athlete since 1998! See more at the PowerBar website here.
