The Race
Boulder
The Bolder Boulder was founded in 1979, during the golden age of mass-participation running. Now 47 years old, it has established itself as a beloved fixture in Boulder, growing from its early editions into a race with genuine character and loyal following.
Moses Kemboi set the blistering course record of 00:59:43 in 2016, proving this course can produce world-class half marathon times. The flat roads of Boulder have become a proving ground for the fastest runners on the planet.
The Bolder Boulder route is one of those courses where runners forget their pace and reach for their phones. The scenery through Boulder and its surroundings has earned this race a reputation as one of the most photogenic in North America.
With 38,000 finishers and spectators lining the course deep, the Bolder Boulder generates an atmosphere that carries runners through the hard miles. The crowd support in Boulder is not polite applause — it's visceral, personal, and often the difference between hitting the wall and breaking through it.
