It’s that time of year to don your dance skirt and running shoes for belly dancing at this year’s Memorial Day 10k run – The BolderBOULDER! Join us for a morning of dancing to live music and cheering on the runners!
The BolderBOULDER 10K was founded in 1979 as a small, local 10K, and since has grown to be one of the world’s largest and most respected community running events. In the various waves you’ll find everything from serious world class athletes competing for the best times and notoriety to folks joining in for the celebratory and fun nature of this race dressed in outlandish garb and costumes!
With the festival-like energy and entertainment along the whole route, there’s something for everyone in this 10k! You’re sure to enjoy the Elvis Presley impersonators, artists, performers and local belly dancers from the Nawaar Dance Company, Desert Rain & so much more!
