Grab your running shoes and head to downtown Boulder – CrossFit Roots is running a 5K!
That’s right, we are excited to announce this fun gym-wide event…
CrossFit Roots will participate in the 2026 Boulder Heart 5K on Sunday, September 27th.
Why a 5K?
Did you know that the 5K is the most programmed workout on crossfit.com? That’s because a 5K is a beautiful test of all three metabolic pathways – something you train each and every day at CrossFit Roots. Come test your fitness out in the wild in this fun local event that is part of the Boulderthon series of run races. Want to run further than a 5K? There are 10K, 1/2 Marathon, and Marathon options as well!
Get Ready at the Shop
Everyday you train at Roots you’re developing your cardiorespiratory endurance, stamina, strength, speed, power, and more. All things you need to run a strong 5K. We’re going to put a little (and we mean a little) extra skin in the game and challenge everyone to run 1 mile after each class you attend from now until September 27th.
Each time you run a mile, grab a sticker from the front desk and add it to the 5K Run board.
We’re confident that with 3-4 miles of easy running a week, paired with your regular group class attendance that you’ll have everything you need to throw down and race well!
So grab a partner, rally your friends after class, and start accumulating miles!
For a Good Cause
