FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Denver Marathon Waives Marathon Race Entry to Welcome
Chicago Runners Looking to Finish

WHAT: The Denver Marathon, scheduled for October 14, 2007,
announced today that it will waive marathon entry fees to runners who were
registered for the Chicago Marathon but were unable to finish.

HOW: Persons registered for the Chicago Marathon can register
online for the Denver Marathon at www.DenverMarathon.com and enter the
online referral code ChicagoRunner or they may register in
person on Friday or Saturday, October 12 or 13, at the Denver Marathon EXPO
located at the Adams Mark Hotel, 1550 Court Place.

Chicago runners registering for the Denver Marathon will need to present
proof of registration for the Chicago Marathon and a photo ID at packet
pick-up. For more information about the race or packet pick-up, please go
to www.DenverMarathon.com.

WHY: "As a former professional athlete, I know what it takes to
train for a big race and the disappointment of not being able to finish due
to circumstances outside of my control," said Denver Marathon Executive
Director Anton Villatoro. "In response to many local Colorado runners who
were hoping to complete the Chicago Marathon last weekend but could not
finish, our race wants to give these runners another chance to reach the
finish line."

The Denver Marathon race course is flat and has little to no elevation
change and will be certified by USA Track & Field as a qualifier for the
Boston Marathon.
