The Valmont Short Track Series is a weekly mountain bike race night at Valmont Bike Park in Boulder, Colorado, held every Wednesday in May and June. It features short-track racing: riders complete multiple laps on a compact course, with most adult races lasting approximately 25 minutes. The course varies weekly but is typically about a 1-mile lap, with most races consisting of four or five laps. Registration is on race day at the venue, and no racing license is needed. The evening includes categories ranging from a free, non-competitive Kids Fun Race for ages 6-9 to junior, women’s, and men’s fields. Riders age 10 and older may race with adults, while younger children participate in the fun race. Chip timing is integrated into the number plate, which racers use each week. The event maintains a low-key atmosphere with cash or Venmo entry, limited parking, encouragement for arriving by bike, and no podiums or awards. A second race on the same day is complimentary, aligning with the series' grassroots character.
The Boulder Rez Marathon takes place in August at Boulder Reservoir in Boulder, Colorado. The race starts and finishes at the reservoir park area on 51st Street. This event is a trail-and-dirt-road race series, offering marathon, marathon relay, three-quarter marathon, half marathon, and 10K distances. The full marathon begins first in the early morning, with shorter races starting shortly after. The course remains open until early afternoon. Most of the route follows dirt roads, packed-dirt trails, some singletrack, and paved park roads near the start and finish, running beside or around Boulder Reservoir. The course is notably flat for Boulder, featuring approximately 200 feet of elevation gain. The primary challenge lies in maintaining a steady pace over mixed surfaces, rather than significant climbing. The race is USATF sanctioned, with measured and marked courses. Participants receive finisher medals and shirts, along with overall and age-group awards. Post-race activities include music, awards, beer, and food. Volunteers can be of any age, though those under 13 require adult supervision.
Beh: V Boulderi majú bežci k dispozícii viac ako 150 míľ trailov, takže miestni málokedy bežia ten istý týždeň dvakrát. Mesa Trail sa tiahne z Chautauqua Park s výhľadmi na Flatirons a celý out-and-back úsek má dĺžku polmaratónu s prevýšením cez 2,000 feet. Mt. Sanitas stúpa 1,300 feet za menej ako míľu a pol, takže tam sa kondička neschová. South Boulder Creek Trail a Bobolink Trail sú ideálne na pohodové Z2 dni. Boulder Track Club, Elevate Run Club, Fleet Feet Boulder, Avanti Run Club a RISE Running sa starajú o plný skupinový kalendár. Bolder BOULDER 10K, 2026 Dash & Dine 5k Run Series a Boulder Marathon sú hlavné preteky v meste.
Cyklistika: Cyklisti v Boulderi majú cestu, gravel, singletrack a base miles hneď za dverami. Boulder Cycling Club organizuje Tuesday Night Rides z Twisted Pine Brewery o 5:30 PM a Thursday Night Rides z Upslope Brewery tiež o 5:30 PM. Dlhá verzia má 2 km s prevýšením 500 m. Krátka verzia má 7 km s 275 m. Stúpanie má 5 km s prevýšením 3,112 m. Wednesday Morning Velo a Valmont Short Track Series pomáhajú udržiavať pretekárske nohy v kondícii.
Sezóna: Od júna do septembra je to najlepšie obdobie na dlhšie behy, stabilné jazdy a chladné letné noci. Elevate Run Club má dlhé behy každú sobotu o 7 am v letných mesiacoch a miestni si tam naskladajú Z2, intervaly a trailové dni, kým začne páliť popoludňajšie slnko. Týždenné jazdy Boulder Cycling Club pokračujú v marci, takže cestná a gravel sezóna sa rozbieha ešte predtým, než naplno udrie leto. Zima je celkom mierna, keď sa na to pozrieš z nadhľadu. Cyklotrasy sú pravidelne odhŕňané a ľudia jazdia celú zimu na fat tire bikes so snow tires. Zatienené miesta držia sneh aj po slnečných dňoch, takže miestni si dávajú pozor na ľad a stále sa hýbu.
