BB 2013, May 27th countdown


LIVE BOLD, RUN BOULDER
At BolderBOULDER you get to choose a lot about your experience:  how fast you (and the people around you) run, which race merchandise you would like, how to register and where to pick up your race packet. Here’s how to craft your perfect race.
Register Button

Pick a Wave

Even though the overall race is big, it’s really 97 separate smaller races that let everyone go at the gun and finish at their own pace. The waves are divided up into six categories: qualified runners (ones with proof they can run under 68 minutes), runners, joggers, jog/walkers, walk/joggers and walkers. Your estimated finish time will determine your category. If you choose to start with someone else, register together.  You will then be placed in the slowest requested category of your group. Check our friends and family search page (available April 2013) to see if the people you know are already registered.
Several waves have been designated for specific groups such as the BBRacers Club (formerly the Middle School Challenge) waves, KBCO wave and Military waves. 

Pick a Race Package

Everyone gets split second tag timing and mile splits, a 2013-2014 calendar / runner’s guide and a keepsake snack bag filled with treats.
From there you get to choose your race package:
T-Shirt Package ($50) – Available in men’s, women’s and kid's styles
Long Sleeve T-Shirt Package ($54) – Available in unisex sizing
