Boulderthon

This session was recorded at the Boulderthon -Colorado’s Largest Fall Race Series: Run a 5k, 10k, Half, or Full, at the foothills of the Rockies, in the stunning running mecca of Boulder.


I ran the half this year and loved it! The course is beautiful and not too hilly. Check out the medal below.
