Boulder Ironman Triathlon run course to be tweaked in flood’s wake. Additionally, finish line is now moved to 13th and Pearl streets.From Boulder Daily Camera:

Race Director Dave Christen said the eastern-most portion of the course, where it continues along the Boulder Creek Path parallel with Pearl Parkway before crossing 55th Street and circling back westward, has been eliminated.

Boulder Triathlon Club President Dieter Bruhn said he was very pleased to hear of another slight tweak to the course announced in Thursday’s Facebook update: the triathlon’s finish line has been moved from near 13th Street and Canyon Boulevard to 13th just south of Pearl Street, alongside the Wells Fargo building.
