What more could any marathon/half-marathon/5K/10K athlete want from the picture-perfect morning on which to run the 2010 Colorado Marathon?

How about a unique bicycle escort by the cyclists of Peloton-Specialized?

Ahead of the lead runners followed by the teeming packs coming through the Poudre Canyon and Poudre Trail, team riders Dustin Folger, Kurt Ireland, Nick Davis, Sam Acheson, Bruce Runnels, and Jim Fu helped clear traffic off the race course, motivate the athletes to strong finishes, and clean up after the race was completed.

Congratulations to all of the winners and participants, whether qualifying for the Boston Marathon or entering their first race, and many thanks to the fellow supporters and sponsors of this race series run on America’s Most Scenic Course!
