Have you ever heard of the Bolder Boulder?
It's a glorious day waking up at the foot of the flatirons in this lovely town I call home for the past 17 years. Every year for a very long time they have run one of the biggest road race 10K races in this little town of ours. Every year it get bigger and bigger and today will be no different.
What is it?

Bolder Boulder is an annual
10-kilometer road race in
Boulder, Colorado. The most recent race featured over 54,000
