BOULDER, Colo. — More than 47,000 people laced up their running shoes for the 44th annual Bolder Boulder on Monday.
Colorado's largest road race began at 30th and Walnut streets and winds through Boulder neighborhoods, with live music and entertainment at every corner. The race finishes at the University of Colorado's Folsom Field.
