End Result Company Powers BOLDERBoulder’s BOLDER ON THE RUN in a Safe Return to In-Person Racing

BOULDER, Colo. -- Boulder, Colorado - May, 2021 - One of the largest road races in the nation, and America's All-time Best 10K is back. With guidance from governmental entities and health officials, the BOLDERBoulder team is set to create a unique experience in 2021 to deliver the fun that the annual race is known for, in a new event concept which has been specifically designed to re-acclimate race participants from virtual running back to in-person running races, Stack Sports announced today.

The BOLDERBoulder this year has created a unique variation for Memorial Day Weekend in this "walk before you run" run, called BOLDER on the RUN, and will stage in-person 10K races, on marked, measured and timed courses, at six different locations along the front-range.

The event will span 14 hours each day, beginning Saturday May 29 at 6:30 a.m., through 8:30 p.m. Monday May 31, 2021.

In support of BOLDER ON THE RUN, the BB10K team is partnering with its longstanding timing, scoring and results partner, the End Result Company powered by Stack Sports, for the official timing, including the daily event execution to provide accurate timing and official results and scoring for each participant.

"This is an incredible event and we are so excited to be a part of its return in 2021," said John Adams, GM - Endurance at Stack Sports. "We are always looking for opportunities to innovate, and working with Cliff and his team on this idea was a real look at how technology can partner with event staff to deliver a great experience. BB10K is back, and an example for other races and the broader community of road running events that it's safe."

The BOLDERBoulder mantra, "Oh Yes You Can!" since 1979, is the battle cry which has encouraged participants of all ages and abilities to participate, stay active, get healthy, get outside, celebrate Boulder, Colorado, and honor Memorial Day and those who have given their life in service to this country.

This year the event will take its Can Do Attitude on the road and to the next level with a one-of-a-kind experience at the six unique courses, in Broomfield, Erie, Firestone, at the Greenland Trail in Larkspur, Littleton, and Loveland.

Each venue features a different course and each provides a unique experience and adventure, allowing every participant to take on the challenge of finishing a 10K by selecting their venue, their day and their preferred race time. Famous for its BOLDER attitude at its BOULDER altitude (5,391') each course offered is situated above 5,000' and provides for smaller race groups to run unimpeded during their specific time block over the weekend.

"Because we are able to time each participant, similar to the big race, we will be able to recognize the top 15 fastest times for boys and girls and men and women every age," said race director, Cliff Bosley. "Creating something new and different in a year where there is still an abundance of caution about CV-19, also puts us in a great spot where we can help participants to be comfortable as they assimilate back to in-person running as we begin preparations for the traditional race in 2022."

In its 42nd year with BB10K End Result has worked closely with the event anticipating its return. "End Result Company is excited to see this great event return in such a unique way and to provide the premier event with best-in-class technology," said Kevin Jandt, VP, Endurance at Stack Sports. "Providing our timing services just provides additional data points to BB10K to ensure the event is both competitive and safe."

"We can't wait to see you out there," Cliff Bosley, Race Director.
