Never Want To Leave Boulder? You Are Not Alone!

Boulder just got the distinction of being named #5 on College Magazine’s list of the Top 10 College Towns You’ll Never Want To Leave. We know it, but it’s nice to get the reassurance! Thanks, College Magazine.

Here is what http://www.collegemagazine.com says, “Great college towns offer much more than blackout Friday nights. They provide perfect settings for game days, gorgeous (and walkable) natural scenery, awesome art cultures and traditions you won’t find anywhere else. When a college acts as a beacon of light for a town, call it poetic. When town and college embrace one another, call it harmony. These college towns wear such characteristics in spades.”

Leftover Turkey Trot 5K

It’s the 2nd Annual Leftover Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk on November 28, 2015 from 10 – 11am. We’ll “stuff” ourselves on Thanksgiving Day not to mention chow down on the leftovers in the days to come – Oh the bloat! Come out for a run!

Once again, it’ll be time to get off the couch, grab the kids (and the relatives that have invaded your home) and join us the Saturday after Thanksgiving for a family 5K Run/Walk at Roger’s Grove Park in Longmont, Colorado. This 3.1 mile, timed run is sure to get your Leftover Turkey legs moving and gear you up for the rest of the weekend. There will be food and awards after the race if you want to stick around for a bit.
