Boulder Springs Half Marathon

If something as delicious as Rudi’s organic bakery is sponsoring a run, that only makes one pick up that pace to get to the finish line! The Boulder Spring offers three distances at the Boulder Reservoir, a half marathon, 10 mile and 10 kilometer. And you bet you people are ready to get their running wheels racing because this is the first major distance held in Colorado for the year.

And a big draw for runners is the post race party! The Boulder Beer Garden is of course there to quench your thirst, along with many sponsors bringing out the energy drinks, energy bars and Rudi’s goodies! And for those who are especially environmentally conscious there is every type of recycling and composting, so party the day away. Energetic environment, organized race and FlatIrons in the background…just another iron the the fire of why this race will surely keep the number of runners turning.

The 80's Ladies Run Wild

The 80’s Ladies were dressed to the nines and ready to take on the “Run Wild Race” in authentic 80’s leotards. Flashy colors from head to toe was the only requirement of our theme.
Participating in running events and road races has always been at the top of my ‘to do’s.’ I believe this started because as young tots time outs and groundings didn’t exist. Instead, my brother, sister and I would have to run laps around the cul-de-sac for punishments. Somehow the cul-de-sac laps brought an enthusiasm to running for my brother, sister and I.
Road Races have never lost their excitement, but have become even more exciting when there is a special twist. Rockin’ the side ponytails the 80’s ladies were ready! I can assure you that competing in a race with water obstacles, splashing through a creek, jumping over hurdles, crawling over hay bells and doing high knee lifts through tires sprawled over the course does become complete when wearing lavender leg warmers.
