BOULDER — The Boulder County district attorney’s office filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Boulder Marathon director Jeff Mason after he canceled the 2014 race with two weeks notice and did not offer refunds to any entrants.
According to the complaint filed in Boulder District Court, District Attorney Stan Garnett is suing both Mason and the Boulder Marathon LLC — which Mason owns — for refunds for the almost $200,000 in race-entry fees from 2013 and 2014 as well as civil penalties for violating the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
He also is asking for an injunction that would prevent Mason from running similar marathons in the future. “We reviewed the evidence very closely and felt that we could accomplish what was warranted by the evidence through the Colorado Consumer Protection Act,” Garnett said Tuesday afternoon.
Mason could not immediately be reached for comment.
