Club Update July 2023
On a bike ride the night before the Aspire OTQ launch, a good friend and former BRR member asked, “So is Boulder Road Runners still around?”
Indeed, my friend, indeed.
In fact, launching the Club’s newly formalized athlete support program, Aspire OTQ, at Shoes & Brews on June 22nd, I realized as much as we were launching Aspire OTQ, we were also re-launching Boulder Road Runners. The room was full of BRR members of all ages, many local running celebrities, and just good energy and excitement.

Aspire OTQ helps post-collegian runners stay in the race

Club Update May 2023
What an incredible time to be part of our local running community! We all have backstage access to the greatest show on earth. If there was a dry eye in town as local runners Emma Bates and Helen Obiri lit up Boston, I didn’t see it. And it isn’t just the pros. Our local elite teams, our elite BRR age group racers, high schoolers, and collegians around Colorado are also riding the wave.

Member Profile: Lynn Hermanson
It’s Never Too Late to Get Fit (and Fast!)
“I’ve arrived at my best life,” she says with confidence and a smile. “I never expected to be more fit at 71 than I was when I was 30, relatively speaking.”
She ran nearly as fast at last year’s BOLDERBoulder 2022, as she did when she ran the race back in 1980. She owns multiple All-American titles. And she consistently wins her age group in local 5ks. Remarkably, Lynn Hermanson is excelling at running like never before – all at age 71.
