About BMWs

Healthy Balance
Founded in 2013, BMWs is the original youth run club in Boulder County. Having grown to over 100 kids per year, our club is shaping the youth running scene, and keeping the sport thriving.

We bring great care and an open heart to all BMW teammates. Our staff knows the proper, healthy balance needed for successful youth running. Kids’ long-term physical and mental health are priorities. We teach what it takes to be successful—not just in performance, but in life.

We believe that running is an opportunity to translate the character developed from training, racing, and goal setting to the challenges we face in life. Our mission is to cultivate compassion, confidence, mindset, positivity, grit, resilience, fun, and teamwork.

Character and Team
BMWs is renowned for its team culture. We are not about one individual. Rather, we are all about team. We are here to lift each other up – in practices and in races. Everyone matters, and everyone is encouraged to grow. We cultivate “real” experiences to help kids be in tune with their body, their mind, the outdoor environment, and their teammates.

Progress over Perfection
With our mantra of “progress over perfection”, we consistently send student-athletes to Boulder County high schools, nurtured and prepared for their next step. In fact, for years, many BMWs have been filling the varsity squads of local cross country and track programs, taking their running – and their teammates – to the next level.
