All registrations are automatically backed by the Bolder GuaRUNtee. It means if you sign up for the BOLDERBoulder and don't participate, we will roll your registration over to next year's BOLDERBoulder for only $20. And, you won't need an excuse from your mom or a note from your doc.
It's easy. If you don't make it, we'll send you a personal rollover code for next year's race. You of course get to keep your shirt and any other items you ordered. We really want you to be part of the BOLDERBoulder. It's just that simple.
How do I use the Bolder GuaRUNtee?
Anyone who signs up for the event and doesn't make it will automatically receive a Bolder GuaRUNtee notice via email in June. Each email has a personal rollover code. We will also re-send an email several months before the race as a reminder. If for some reason you do not get the email notification, simply email us for a re-issue.
When you sign up for the next year's event, simply apply your personal rollover code, pay $20 … and you are in. Done! Easy-peasy! Please note that the BOLDERBoulder GuaRUNtee is only valid for the BOLDERBoulder and cannot be used towards the ColderBOLDER or FORTitude. Each race has their own personal GuaRUNtee.
The Bolder GuaRUNtee is specifically for those who miss out on the fun. We want YOU to come back and be part of the BOLDERBoulder experience. Remember, your personal code is for you and cannot be shared with friends or family.
Please note that the Bolder GuaRUNtee cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion.
You keep the original shirt(s) and merchandise you ordered if you pick up your packet within two weeks from race day. The GuaRUNtee gets you a spot in the next BOLDERBoulder. We will send you an email reminder to pick up your gear or for a small fee when can mail it to you.
Yes, you can also upgrade to the Long Sleeve Shirt Package for an additional $5, grab the Performance Shirt Package for just $15 more (shirt alone retails at $30), or go all the way with the Bolder Package (all three shirts) for $30 extra. Check them out when you register.
When can I use my code?
If you register for this year's race but for some reason end up missing it, you can register any time before next year's race (the GuaRUNtee is only good for one year).
If you registered for last year's race but missed out, you can register any time before this year's race.
Note that if you sign up after the procrastination fee kicks in, or on race day, you'll be on the hook for those added charges. We're generous, but we're not crazy.
What if I didn't make the race in 2018?
Your Bolder GuaRUNtee is good for the 2019 race, for $15. All the same rules apply. You should have been emailed your personal rollover code, but if you didn't get your code, email us.
If you were in a non-qualified running, jogging or walking wave, we will do our absolute best to get you back in a similar wave for the following year's race. If you want to move into a faster qualified wave, you would need to submit qualifying proof equivalent to running a 10K in under 68 minutes.
If you were in a qualified running wave, you would need to re-qualify to be put back into a qualified wave for the following year's race. Or, you could just request to be in a non-qualified running, jogging or walking wave.

From the founding moment of the BOLDERBoulder, we have continually striven to find new ways to make our event the best experience for you. No entry-level caps, exciting on course entertainment, the invention of the wave starts, the first RFID timing at every mile in a mass participation event, and no hidden service charges.
