It is a Memorial Day tradition for me to be out in Boulder, CO and run in the Bolder Boulder race.
This year I will be walking in it, below you can see why!
The University of Colorado at Boulder hosts one of the largest Memorial Day tributes as part of the Bolder Boulder 10K race. Some 50,000 participants in the citizens race will cross the finish line at Folsom Field in the nation's largest timed race. Wheelchair racers also cross the line at Folsom Field, and international racers complete on a 10K 5-lap criterium course that laps through the stadium.
The tribute, which follows the citizens race, includes the presentation of the nation's colors, recognition of the men and women who have served America in the Armed Forces, and a dramatic flyover by Navy jets.
Whether you are going our for a PR, stopping at every block to dance to live music, drink beer, go on the various slip and slides to cool down, shimmy with the belly dancers (pictured below) or even eat some bacon (and since it's Boulder there is turkey bacon too) right before finishing, it is guaranteed to make you smile and be a great time!
The People's Republic of Boulder never ceases to amaze!
