At the DICK’S Sporting Goods BolderBOULDER you can customize your race experience more than any other event in the world. Follow the steps below to craft your race:
Step 1 – Waves
Even though the race is big, it’s separated into 80-90 waves that let everyone go at the gun and finish at their own pace. The waves are divided up into six sections: qualified runners (see below), runners, joggers, jog/walkers, walk/joggers and walkers. Your estimated finish time will determine which section you are placed in.
Running with others: The best way to run together is to register everyone in your group together. All of you will be placed in the slowest requested wave in your group. Specific wave placement is not guaranteed, but we'll do our best. If this is a qualified wave you all need to supply proof. You can request their wave, but as waves fill up we can't guarantee placement in that wave.
Qualified waves: The first waves are reserved for runners that can provide proof that they can run 10K faster than 68 minutes. You can either use your 2010 BolderBOULDER finish time or use one of these other qualifying options. Please take your proof with you if you register at the store.
Non-qualified waves: The remaining waves do not require any proof and are broken down into Running, Jogging, Jog/Walking, Walk/Jogging and Walking pace groups. Check the wave list for your best option.
Special waves: Several waves have been designated for specific groups such as the BBRacers Club (formerly the Middle School Challenge) waves, KBCO wave and Military waves. Anyone is welcome to join in these waves.
Step 2 – Pick a package
