Boulderthon

The city of Boulder is renowned for its recreational activities, namely running, cycling, and hiking. It's no wonder that the city has become a training ground for world-class athletes, Olympians, and casual runners alike, with its renowned 10K race. However, the city is lacking a signature marathon. As one of the most health-conscious cities in the US, it was a mystery why there was no premier long-distance marathon. We decided to create one.Introducing the Boulder Backroads Marathon & Half Marathon - a fall race designed to celebrate the city and its community. The marathon will start at the Boulder Reservoir and finish on Pearl Street downtown, featuring stunning views of the Flatirons for the entire route. Participants will also pass through farmland in Boulder County on their way to the unique and exciting finish at the heart of downtown Boulder.
