OFFICIAL RULES OF THE ROAD
We want everyone to enjoy a fun and safe 10k on race day.
We absolutely want you to run with friends and family, dress for the occasion, rock out with the bands, and even hit the slip and slide!! Just be considerate of the runners around you, and try not to impede anyone’s progress along the course. Note that we cannot allow strollers, pets, or unregistered runners. See below for more info.
Below are a few more specifics around the do’s and don’ts for the day.
BIBS / Race Numbers
All participants must wear the officially issued race number bib registered to the wearer.
Please wear your bib on your front or side of your outermost garment from start to finish in order for you to be recognized as an official participant and so we can send you photos and your official finish time.
Participants are required to start in their designated wave. Starting in an earlier wave will result in disqualification from the BOLDERBoulder and you will not receive a finish time.
Participant race number bibs are specific personal identifiers and may not be exchanged or transferred, given or sold to any other person. The sale and/or transfer of race entries/bibs is strictly prohibited.
Stadium Rules
- Bags that are clear plastic and do not exceed 12″x6″x12″ are allowed. Learn More about the Clear Bag Policy
- Large bags, backpacks, and strollers are not permitted. Kid carrier backpacks are allowed.
- We do offer a mobile locker service ($10 race day), where you drop your gear at the start (Southeast corner of 30th & Walnut) and it will be waiting for you outside the stadium when you finish.
- Gear check is also offered at the stadium for spectators and family. It is located outside the south end of the stadium near Duane Physics.
Running with little ones
All ages are welcome at the BOLDERBoulder and we encourage you to make the day a family affair!
Backpacks are great for walking with kids that can’t do it on their own but remember, strollers and baby joggers are NOT allowed on the course or in on floor of the stadium. You will need to register your child if they will not be in a backpack at any point along the course.
Pets
Fido is a great training partner, but you’ll need to leave all pets at home on race day. Trained service animals are always welcome but must have their certified service vest visible. Contact [email protected] for credentials for your service animal.
Walking or running with friends and family
It’s great to enjoy the day with your friends and family, but keep it to three across or less along the course so others can get by.
Don't run in an earlier wave
Costumes
Rocking out
Course cutoff
Everyone needs to get past Folsom & Arapahoe by 11:27am to stay ahead of the pro women who are blazing trail behind you. There will be a group of cutoff walker volunteers wearing bright orange vests to help you stay on pace.
Anything beyond your own two feet
You can walk, jog, sprint or skip – but don’t bring bicycles, in-line skates, Kangoo shoes (except when used as an assistive device by a participant with a disability pursuant to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act) or anything else that lets you roll or bounce your way to the finish.
Refunds / Transfers
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.
With our BOLDERBoulder GuaRUNtee, participants that do not run this year are able to sign up for next year’s race for $30
