Boulder Peak Triathlon: Road Closures, Schedule, Map

BOULDER COUNTY, CO — The Boulder Peak Triathlon is set to be held Sunday, and there are some road closures that residents should be aware of.

Westbound Jay Road will be closed from SH 119/Diagonal Highway to 51st Street from 6:45 a.m. to 11 a.m., race organizers said.

All other roads on the bike course — including eastbound Jay Road from 51st Street to SH 119/Diagonal Highway — will remain open throughout the race, which starts and finishes at the Boulder Reservoir.

The first race is scheduled to start at 7 a.m. Riders will be single file and spread out, and the last cyclists are set to leave the reservoir around 10:20 a.m. All cyclists will be off the road by noon, organizers said. A sweep vehicle will follow the last cyclists and alert the police and course marshals along the way so that traffic can return to normal as soon as possible.
