Additional Information

Important Registration Details.

15 Minute Entry Time Limit Gather everything you need before starting entry, and if registering several runners enter only two or three per transaction to ensure the 15 minute limit is not exceeded. If you receive an error message after submitting payment or you do not receive an auto generated confirmation email within 24 hours contact race@bolderboulder.com.

Qualification Proof - If you hope to be seeded in a qualifying wave, you must wait to register until you have run your qualifying event.

If the race from which you would like to use your time is not listed in the qualifying races drop-down list, choose OTHER. Immediately email a screen shot of the web page that displays your results addressed to qtimes@bolderboulder.com. Include your FULL NAME and AGE, and the DATE AND DISTANCE of the race in the email. Also include the DELIVERY LOCATION you chose. This helps locate your entry more quickly as entries are processed in batches based on delivery location. If you choose one of the races in the drop down list, no documentation is needed since we have these times. Entries received without valid proof will be seeded in a non-qualifying wave.

Running with Friends requests using online registration-Seeding in the same wave with others is guaranteed ONLY IF ALL ARE REGISTERED AT THE SAME TIME WITHIN THE SAME ONLINE SESSION. Matching online registrations with entries received through other methods, Mail or BolderBOULDER Store walk-in is not offered. Request for changing bib numbers later can be accommodated for a $10 fee.

WARNING: If any of the "start in the same wave" group indicates Qualify Runner Type, he/she will not be seeded in a qualifying wave. Start In The Same Wave takes priority and all in group will be placed in the slowest participant's wave. Requests to run with others that have already registered will most likely not be able to be accommodated as waves fill fast, but we will try. Find your registered friends at www.bolderboulder.com/friends_registered.cfm. This is updated a couple of times per day.

Waves fill quickly. Specific wave placement is not guaranteed.
