Bolder Boulder: After 10-year hiatus, former CU Buff Laura Thweatt returns to pro field

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:57:04 GMT

Given the relatively quick turnaround from a physically taxing event, runners who compete in the Boston Marathon in April often feel compelled to pass on the Bolder Boulder. It’s a big reason why the defending champion in the women’s pro race, Aliphine Tuliamuk, won’t be defending her title.Yet Laura Thweatt wasn’t happy with her performance in Boston last month. And so the former Colorado Buffaloes standout had an open mind when approached about making a long-awaited return to the pro field at the Bolder Boulder.Even in a pro career now a dozen years long, Thweatt respects the reality that few events recreate the same thrill and excitement typically on display at the Bolder Boulder. And so, while Thweatt won the women’s citizen’s race a year ago, she will return to the pro field for the first time in 10 years on Monday morning when the International Team Challenge caps the running events at the 43rd Bolder Boulder.“I did Boston in April and it was a nightmare of a day for me,” Thwe...
