ABOUT US:
Every year team BOLDERBoulder works closely with the Boulder community to put on 2 special and unique road races, the BOLDERBoulder and the ColderBOLDER, that see a combined total of more than 50,000 runners, walkers, and joggers.
The Races
The BOLDERBoulder, named America’s All-Time Best 10K by Runner’s World takes place on Memorial Day in beautiful Boulder, CO. Finishing at Folsom Field, this race is one for the bucket list and continues to amaze participants, spectators, and VolRUNteers year after year.
