The BOLDERBoulder course
A Memorial Day tradition with one of the largest 10K fields in the country, finishing inside Folsom Field at the University of Colorado. Run at roughly a mile of elevation, which is the real difficulty.
Weather on race day
Late May in Boulder is usually pleasant, with strong high-altitude sun.
What to train for
Altitude is the whole story if you are coming from sea level. Expect to run slower than your flatland 10K fitness suggests, and arrive several days early if you can.
