RTD RUNRIDE SERVICE TO THE BOLDERBOULDER
Focus on your race to Folsom Field — not the race to find parking — by taking RTD’s RunRide. Park FREE and catch the RunRide from locations around Denver and Boulder. Click here for RTD information, routes and fares on race day.
PARKING
Parking near the start line is extremely limited. If you have to drive yourself, we suggest you park at CU (near the finish) and take the RTD RunRide shuttle down to the start. CU charges $20 for parking on race day.
FREE PARKING (no shuttles to or from these locations)

RV PARKING
If you have an RV, CU will allow you to park on campus during the day, but not overnight. Parking at CU is $15 x # of spaces your RV takes. RV’s are allowed overnight at Boulder County Campgrounds (303-678-1525)
RUNNER DROP-OFF
If you’re lucky enough to have a designated driver, he or she can drop you off near the start line in the Runner Drop-Off Area (30th St. and the Diagonal Highway). The alternate route map shows how to get around Boulder so you can reach the Runner Drop-Off or finish areas. Many Boulder streets are closed on race morning.
After you’ve been dropped-off, PLEASE cross at the new underpass just west of 30th Street on the Diagonal. There will be lots of traffic and we don’t want you to get run over before you run.
