Boulder Marathon director Jeff Mason failed to secure several key permits ahead of the Oct. 5 event, which he cancelled Friday with about two weeks notice for the more than 1,000 people who’d paid to compete.
“They were required to get permits from the Colorado State Patrol, the Boulder Reservoir, Boulder County Transportation and the Boulder Police Department,” Sheriff’s Cmdr. Heidi Prentup. “He did not meet the deadlines that are established to receive the permits, so he was not permitted.”
Stacy Cole, manager of the Boulder Reservoir – where the race was supposed to start and end – said that by the time her office was contacted, the event was already dead.
