Organizers of the Bolder Boulder event that typically culminates at CU Boulder's Folsom Field announced the traditional race is canceled for 2021. Instead, the community is invited to participate in Bolder on the Run, a 10K race with live in-person and virtual options. Bolder on the Run is set for Memorial Day weekend, May 29–31.

A Bolder Boulder statement said, “The bottom line after talking daily with public health officials, the city of Boulder, and the University of Colorado is that safety restrictions and our timeline prevent us from holding the traditional BOLDERBoulder. However, even though we can’t run the streets of Boulder, we decided to bring it to you.”

“We are disappointed that we again have to cancel this year’s BOLDERBoulder, and we look forward to the day when we can see thousands of runners crossing the finish line again at Folsom Field,” Chancellor Philip DiStefano said.
