Boulderthon
Two of our 2024 Wander Project Ambassadors, Candace and Rachel attended the three day expo for Boulderthon in Boulder, Colorado the last weekend of September. With 10,000 runners and 30,000 spectators attending, we’ve heard you all had some great conversations and are stoked on Wander Project. We can’t wait to see you all at 2025 events.
Speaking of 2025, if all of that wasn’t enough, it was an extra busy month for new events and distances opening for 2025 from our longtime partner Vacation Races. We’re really excited about the addition of a third Trailfest and some new distances at some of the ultra events. If you missed them catch up on the openings below.
2025 Events Opened in September
Mount Rainier Half Marathon & 5K – July 19, 2025 by Vacation Races
Bryce Canyon Ultras – September 20, 2025 by Vacation Races

Wherever you are, we hope you’re safe and finding time to get on the trail. We’ll see you out there!
