She’s got Buff pride in her stride and Boulder Creek at her back. Golden hour, race-day energy, and that look like she knows exactly where she’s going.

We’ll be honest—this one’s different. A little more imagined. A little more bold. But that’s the beauty of Boulder, isn’t it? We mix the real with the wild, the tradition with the unexpected.

BOLDERBoulder 2025 brought it again this Memorial Day: thousands of runners, walkers, and fans flooding the streets, turning Boulder into one massive, high-altitude celebration. From elite athletes to barefoot locals with bandanas and flags, it was classic Boulder—joyful, loud, and alive.

And now? We’re kicking off something new: This is Boulder. A creative series. A fresh lane. A chance to celebrate this town through a different lens—whether it’s captured in a camera or imagined in a vision. It’s where CU Buffs pride, creekside peace, and vibrant city spirit meet.

This first piece? She may not have crossed the finish line—but she is the finish line vibe. Dressed in CU black and gold, standing tall by Boulder Creek, she represents the bold beauty of a town that never stops moving forward.

Boulder Creek, always central to the city’s identity, winds its way through this image too—calm, refreshing, and full of life, just like the crowd that gathered above it on race day. The race itself is more than a local event—it’s a national spectacle, and one of the largest timed road races in the U.S.. That’s something worth honoring—with creativity, community, and maybe a little imagination.

The University of Colorado Boulder continues to serve as a gravitational force here, and this image is a quiet nod to that. From the students and staff to alumni cheering from rooftops and lawns, the CU presence is always felt—especially on race day. Black and gold run deep.

So here’s to the town that welcomes new ideas. Here’s to the race that kicks off summer with joy. Here’s to CU pride, Boulder Creek, and letting creativity lead the way. And here’s to one new beginning—because sometimes the best way to honor a tradition is to see it from a fresh perspective.
