The Heart and Sole Half Marathon will be hosted by the Boulder Running Company in order to provide a quality yet reasonable alternative to other expensive half marathon races. The rising costs of registration fees for half marathons can limit participation in these tough economic times. The Boulder Running Company is taking this opportunity to offer an affordable race for runners who want to race or run for fun, but don't want to spend a lot. The BRC wants to make sure that running is supported, not discouraged, in these hard times.

The Indian Summer Half Marathon, which is held at the Boulder Reservoir, will raise money to benefit the City of Boulder Parks & Recreation EXPAND program and the Orphans of AIDS Trust Fund foundation. The EXPAND program helps people with disabilities improve and gain new recreation and leisure skills that will enhance their overall quality of life. The Orphans of AIDS Trust Foundation (OATF) provides for the care of the children in South Africa orphaned as a result of AIDS.
