Bolder Boulder 10k

In 1979 we dreamt of attracting a few hundred of our friends to race through the streets of Boulder, Colorado to celebrate Memorial Day with our families. Fast forward almost 40 years and the BolderBOULDER has grown to become one of the largest and most highly acclaimed 10Ks in the world. Named Americas All-Time Best 10K by Runners World, it is the 3rd largest running race in the United States and the 7th largest in the world.

Park ItParking near the finish line is available on the CU campus south of Colorado Ave. and Regent Dr. Pre-paid parking is also available.

It is on the northbound 28th St. Frontage Road between Colorado Ave. and Arapahoe Ave. This area offers easy exit from the start area once you’re on your way.
