After the race enjoy other samples provided by our sponsors including bottled water and a soft drink provided by Pepsi, an Avery Beer (for those participants 21 and older) and food and drink samples from dozens and dozens of companies featured at our RACE DAY EXPO – also look for special offers and incentives from sponsors and partners!  

If you do not wish to receive a shirt with your race packet, we have two options for participants to donate their official race shirts.

Donate your shirt to humanitarian aid.

Through this program, in 2020, we were able to donate more than 40,000 race shirts to the Denver Rescue Mission and to Samaritan’s Purse for Operation Christmas Child and for their Global Humanitarian Relief Efforts.  In 2022 and 2023, we were able to partner with these organizations, and we will continue for the 2024 race.

Starting in 2024, we will also be donating shirts to the Veterans Community Project in Colorado.

Donate your shirt to the BB Military Base Race.

The Professional Wheelchair Race is the first wave, starting at 6:50 a.m. followed by the “A” wave at 6:55 a.m. From 6:56 a.m. to approximately 9:15am the other 90 waves will launch. The preliminary wave start times schedule is detailed HERE ON OUR WEBSITE and the final launch will be sent out with all the details to participants in our GO TIME email on Thursday May 25, 2023. 

The International Invitational Pro Race starts at 11:11am (women) and 11:22m (men), and it will finish inside the stadium between 11:45 and 11:55am. The Professional Race Start area is located at Folsom and Taft.

All participants will be automatically entered into a virtual version of the race, and can race wherever and whenever they want over Memorial Day weekend. All registrants will still receive their race packages. 

All entry fees are non-refundable. During the registration process acknowledgment of this policy is made. Once a runner registers, race items will be immediately ordered and printed for a participants’ registration.

There are NO exceptions. In case the event can’t be done in person, participants will be transferred to our virtual option.

Yes. For $10 we will issue you a new bib number with a timing tag. If you have already received your packet and your virtual bib number, contact us at [email protected] with your request.

The first 30 waves are set aside for those who expect to finish faster than 75 minutes and have a qualifying time since May 29th, 2023. 

Here’s how you can qualify: 

1. Use your 2023 BOLDERBoulder time: Anything 1:15:00 or faster gets you in the perfect qualified wave for your pace. 

1. Use your 2023 ColderBOLDER 5K time: Anyone who finished faster than 32:38 minutes automatically gets in a qualified wave. Check your results. 

1. Use other races (since May 29th, 2023) Use results from ANY timed race, from three miles to a marathon, which you’ve completed since May 29th, 2023 and we’ll place you in a qualified wave based upon your time. Check the Equivalent Times Chart to see how your race time translates to a 10K time. Submit your result to [email protected]. 

We can help you start with your family or friends; the rest of the day is up to you. If you want to be in the same start wave, register everyone online at the same time. Enter the names of those you want to run with in the appropriate field. Qualifying rules still apply, and everyone in your group will be placed in the slowest person’s wave (it helps if everyone chooses the same participant type).

If you want to change waves or to run in a qualified wave, we can make that happen, assuming there are still bibs available in the wave you want. The cost is $10.   

To request a bib number change prior to the race, email us at [email protected] – Note: you won’t be allowed to move up to a faster wave on race day unless you have the correct bib number for that wave. 

For all bib changes on Saturday or Sunday, bring us your original bib number and come to our SOLUTIONS tent at the Race Weekend Sports Exhibit on the Pearl Street Mall.  

We will also accommodate Race Day bib changes for $15 – bring your original bib number and come to our SOLUTIONS TENT at the START AREA in the parking lot near 30th and Walnut beginning at 5:30 a.m. on Monday May 29th
