The Boulder Running Company is one of the leading authorities for runners and walkers. Thirteen years ago the BRC was the first store in the country to offer their customers with a free video gait analysis. Gait analysis helps determine the best shoe for an individual’s unique foot and stride. Videotaping the customer running or walking on the treadmill allows their expert staff to see how the foot is functioning during each strike. By providing video gait analysis and some of the best trained, most committed staff in the country, the Boulder Running Company has proven that the right shoe can make a difference for a person’s health and comfort, regardless of the person’s shape, size or level of conditioning. By maintaining a broad selection of major brands, the Boulder Running Company is sure to have the right shoe for you. For those living a more leisurely lifestyle, they offer stylish, casual footwear and clothing selections from major brands including: Keen, Naot, UGG, Sanita, Patagonia and El Naturalista.

The Pikes Peak Marathon, founded in 1956, is the oldest continually held marathon in the United States, taking runners from Manitou Springs, Colorado, to the summit of Pikes Peak at 14,115 feet, and back down for a total of 26.2 grueling mountain miles. It and its sister race, the Pikes Peak Ascent, each climb about 7,800 vertical feet up the historic Barr Trail on the east face of the mountain. The Ascent, which climbs 13.3 miles to finish at the summit, used to be held on the same day as the Marathon but became its own event in the 1980s due to its popularity.
