RACE & COURSE INFO:

Sign up for the distance of your choice at the seventh annual Boulder Distance Carnival. All participants will receive a cool Brooks technical running shirt (men's and women's sizing is available) as part of your entry fee! Organized by the folks at the Boulder Running Company, the races are a benefit for the Orphans of AIDS Trust Foundation in South Africa and the City of Boulder Parks & Recreation EXPAND Program.

The Boulder Distance Carnival is held at the Boulder Reservoir, with great views of the Flatirons and Front Range mountains. Participants have the choice in taking part in either the 5 Mile or 15 Kilometer running races, as well as a non-competitive 1 mile run/walk. All courses are on soft-packed dirt trails around the Reservoir and on rural roads. The 15K race includes a section on the "Canal Road" from the Boulder Reservoir to Neva/Niwot Road.
